Grant handed stunning £8.25M Chelsea deal

Avram Grant is set to be rewarded with a bumper new Chelsea contract for the way he has the team playing.

The News of the World says Blues owner Roman Abramovich has tabled a new £8.25m deal to Grant for him to stay at Chelsea until 2010.

A senior Chelsea source said: "Avram has been offered a new contract fitting of his new role and he is very pleased with the terms - it is fair to say that he is getting a very healthy increase indeed.

"He has the contract, he's read it through, and there are no problems. We are expecting him to finalise everything and sign it during the upcoming international break.

"That will confirm that he is the boss and is here to stay."
