The 27-year-old has been at Stamford Bridge since he was a junior player and has also had loan spells at Crystal Palace and Fulham.

He has won two Premier League titles, the Fifa Club World Cup, and the Uefa Supercup during his time at Chelsea.

Chelsea has lost a few players this summer as the west London club attempts to balance its books.

The transfer of Kalidou Koulibaly to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia was finalised on Sunday. N’Golo Kante has joined Saudi champions Al-Ittihad, while Edouard Mendy is on the verge of joining Al-Ahli.

Mason Mount of Chelsea has been linked with a move to Manchester United, who have had numerous bids turned down for him, while Kai Havertz of Arsenal is close to joining.
