Chelsea star could go out on loan after signing new contract until 2026

Chelsea have tied Alfie Gilchrist down to a new deal until June 2026 with an option for a further year. The Blues academy graduate has established himself in the London club’s first-team squad this season under Mauricio Pochettino and has made 12 senior appearances throughout the current campaign.

Next season it is possible that the defender will go out on loan, internal talks are still taking place over this but for sure Chelsea believe that he’s an important talent to develop for the future.

That’s why the West London club wanted to make sure his contract situation was 100% sorted with a good salary and why they decided to proceed with offering Gilchrist a new deal. The player is super happy about this latest contract as he loves Chelsea and will try to make steps forward within the club over the coming years.

Aaron Ramsdale can’t stay on the Arsenal bench forever

There have been reports of Newcastle being interested in Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale ahead of the summer transfer window and I can say that it’s still too early to understand what Newcastle can do in terms of investments.

As for the player himself, for sure Ramsdale will consider his future this summer as the Englishman has lost his place as Arsenal’s number-one goalkeeper this season to David Raya. The Spaniard will move from Brentford ahead of the 2024/25 campaign and the Gunners could be open to letting Ramsdale go if
