Chelsea have one of the bet academies in word football, they are constantly signing the very best in the world and handing them long-term contracts, so the news that Wilson is the latest young star to sign a contract is great news for the lad.
He must be buzzing that CHELSEA have made the decision to hand him this contract, he is probably also hoping that he is not like one of the many other young stars that have been shipped out on loan all over the place for the next few years.
It will be interesting to see if he gets an opportunities under boss Liam Rosenior over the next few years, but for now, he can be happy with the news that a deal has been struck and he can work hard trying to becoming a top level professional footballer.
