RLC welcomes new Blues contract
England midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea, committing himself to the Blues until the summer of 2024.
The 23-year-old, who missed the end of last season due to an Achilles injury, became a regular first-teamer for the Stamford Bridge outfit last term and has been rewarded with a fresh long-term deal.
It's the place where I've grown up playing and hopefully I'll be playing here for a lot longer.

He told the club's official website: "I'm really happy and pleased that I get to stay here for another five years. It's the place where I've grown up playing and hopefully I'll be playing here for a lot longer."
"At eight or nine years old, of course you never think you'll be here for so long because you just want to enjoy yourself and play with your friends.
"When I look back and see how the hard work has paid off, it’s a good feeling. That only makes me want to work harder to achieve more in the future.
"I hope to win a lot more trophies with the team and personally it's just about trying to do as well as I can and work hard to be a key player for Chelsea."
Loftus-Cheek made 40 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring ten goals, including a hat-trick in a Europa League victory over BATE Borisov.
Chelsea can be backed at 25/1 to win the Premier League title next season, with the Blues 5/4 to finish in the top four.
