CHELSEA have triggered contract extensions for Enzo Fenandez and Mykhailo Mudryk, meaning both players are tied to the club for at least another seven years.
Both players moved to Stamford Bridge in January 2023 for huge transfer fees.

Mudryk joined the Blues in a £97million transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk and agreed a seven-and-a-half year deal upon his arrival in west London.
Meanwhile, Fernandez penned an eight-and-a-half year contract following his £107m move from Benfica.
Both players have now had another year added onto their respective contracts.
Mudryk‘s is set to expire in 2031 when he is 30, while Fernandez is tied to the club until 2032 when he will be 31.
Academy graduate Lewis Hall also had his contract extended last year, but he is set to make his Newcastle loan permanent this summer for £28m.
Details surrounding all three players’ contracts were released by the FA last week as part of their annual agent payments report.
The report also revealed that Chelsea spent a record £75.1m on agent’s fees in a 12-month period from February 2023 to 2024.
Manchester City spent £60.6m, while Manchester United paid out £34m.
