Deal runs to 2023 after striker reached set goals and gamesNegotiations over longer-term contract have dragged onChelsea have calmed doubts over Tammy Abraham’s future after it emerged the striker has activated a one-year extension clause in his contract, which now runs until 2023.
Abraham signed a five-year deal in 2017, raising concerns that
Chelsea would need to agree a new contract with the 22-year-old this summer or risk being forced into a corner in negotiations. The club opened talks with the
England international over a long-term deal last year but have seen the issue drag on with little sign of a resolution.
