It has now been revealed that Reece James has agreed a massive new contract with Chelsea – and he is delighted with the deal

Over the past few seasons James has developed into one of the best right-backs in Europe – and a player that has so much creative quality for the Blues

However – there was some speculation in the media that he would be open to the idea of leaving the club during the summer window – with Real Madrid reportedly making a move to try and get a deal done

But that did not happen – and he obviously stayed at Stamford Bridge – and he has now signed a new contract at the club after agreeing new terms – reports in the media have claimed over the past few days

What is the latest –

Now James has announced just how delighted he is to sign that new deal with the club- worth a reported £250,000-a-week.

It will make James the highest-paid defender in Chelsea’s history and he has the option to extend his stay at the club with a further year added to that six-year deal he has agreed

He said: ‘I am over the moon with my new contract and I’m thankful for the fans, the new ownership and everyone involved in the club. I cannot wait to see what the future holds, and I am sure we will have the chance of winning many trophies.

‘I grew up supporting this club and I’ve been here since I was a six-year-old. I put pen to paper on a new deal because this is the club I want to be at. I’d like to say a special thanks to the fans, I am here to stay and we have a bright future ahead of us.’
