Chelsea attacking midfielder Tino Anjorin has signed a new contract, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until 2025, the club have confirmed.
The likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal were all reportedly interested in the 18-year-old, but he has decided to commit his long term future to the Blues.

Hope he gets more game time when the season resumes because he has more than enough talent to perform.

The type of player we would have lost recently due to lack of opportunity, so it is nice to see the tide finally turning and the club building for the future.

Keeping a young player shouldn’t really be a big news story but the lack of game time for the academy stars, before Frank Lampard arrived, led to many not sticking around.
However, with Anjorin having already made his debut against Grimsby this campaign, the teenager is likely to be confident that he will be given more chances to impress and stake his claim for more first-team opportunities.
