Rising Chelsea academy star Josh Acheampong has signed a new long-term deal.
The 18-year-old made his full senior debut starting in Chelsea's 3-1 Europa Conference League win over Astana last week.
The new agreement puts an end to what threatened to turn into a toxic situation after the highly-rated right-back was told he wouldn't feature in senior or U21 games until he had committed his future to the club.
The 18-year-old who been raised in Chelsea's youth system is widely-regarded as one of the club's most exciting youngsters and has been rewarded with a fresh five-year contract.
