Chelsea chief Ron Gourlay oversaw Salomon Kalou's new contract yesterday.
The Independent says Kalou's contract was set to expire at the end of the season. This was the first deal renegotiation conducted by new chief executive Gourlay.
Chelsea are prevented from signing any new players for the next two transfer windows after being found guilty of inducing teenager Gael Kakuta to breach his contract with Lens two years ago.
The fact that Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger has been interested in taking the player in the past suggests that others might covet his services.
