"I have a huge connection with Chelsea. I have spent most of my childhood at Cobham, so it means a lot to me and my family knowing that I can continue my journey.

"Being at the club since Under-14s, I have always looked up to the older players at the Academy and aspired to follow them. Now, to say I am one of them, and continue to be one of them, is a proud moment."

Of his season progress, Gordon also stated: "This season has been incredible. Being involved in most of the Under-18s games and making appearances for the Under-21s during the latter stages of the season, reflects my development and improvement across my performance.

"It is great to see my progression throughout the Academy and being able to have the chance to display my performance on a greater stage. It is what every Academy player dreams of.

"My stand-out moment this season was winning the southern title. Not only did we get the trophy, we also got the opportunity to play at the Bridge - an experience that I will never forget.

"It has been my dream to play there since joining the club. It was a full circle and proud moment, hopefully there will be more appearances to come.

"Now I have extended my contract, I am able to show what I am capable of and prove why I deserved to extend my time.

"I am excited for my future at Chelsea, and I am sure I will continue to progress and give my all."
