Chelsea have opened new contract talks with Patrick Bamford.
The Chelsea youngster is on loan at Middlesbrough for the season and has scored 17 goals in their push for promotion from the SkyBet Championship.
The Daily Mail says Bamford, who began his career with Nottingham Forest, currently earns £7,500 a week, but Chelsea will significantly improve on that as part of his new package.
He has just over a year left on his deal at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea are keen to tie him down to a new contract.
