Chelsea defender Reece James has signed a new six-year contract at Stamford Bridge, with his deal now running until 2032, according to David Ornstein.
James has been a key figure in the Chelsea side for a number of years now after breaking through the academy.
Injuries have been a worrying issue for the English right-back, but this season, he's showing signs that he could be over his previous issues.
James has started 19 Premier League games so far this season, which is the most he's started since the 2021/2022 campaign. He only started 22 times during that season, so there's every chance this becomes his best-ever campaign in terms of the number of starts.
Chelsea Star Signs New Contract

According to The Athletic's Ornstein, Chelsea defender James has signed a new six-year contract at Stamford Bridge, keeping him at the club until 2032. The England international's new deal aligns with Chelsea's incentivised wage structure, while he was the only player on terms from the previous era before their new ownership.
James has previously spoken about how he would be happy to spend the rest of his career at Stamford Bridge, and the new deal signed is proof of that. His contract now takes him to the age of 32, and it's a huge statement of intent from the club to tie down one of their best players.
