Ivanovic’s contract was due to expire this summer but the 31 year old versatile defender has now signed a one-year extension.

The Serbian has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge all season and at one point it seemed like he was heading to Italy with Inter Milan. However, the defender has now put all speculations to bed and has pledged his short term future to the London club.
