Sterling signs new Chelsea contract and goes on loan to Championship side Blackpool

The Tangerines will get a Blues player having recently been promoted back to the second-tier of English football

Chelsea have agreed on a two-year contract extension for Dujon Sterling and will send him on loan to Blackpool in the Championship for the season.

The 21-year-old will also have an option for an extra year at Stamford Bridge after impressing in pre-season under Thomas Tuchel.

It marks a huge turnaround for the youngster who debuted for Chelsea under Antonio Conte in 2017, but had a 13 month lay-off due to an injury and then a seperate illness that was not related to Covid.
