Chelsea secure Cabellero to new deal

Chelsea are holding onto goalkeeper Willy Cabellero for next season.

The Telegraph says Chelsea have triggered their option to keep Caballero at Stamford Bridge for an extra year.

The goalkeeper's contract was due to expire at the end of June but the Blues have extended it by a further 12 months as they plan for next season.

Caballero joined Chelsea on a free transfer from Manchester City in 2017 and has mainly been used as a back-up option during his time in west London.

However, he is said to have impressed manager Frank Lampard during a spell as the club's No 1 earlier in the season following Kepa Arrizabalaga's poor form.
