Chelsea youngster pens new deal

Chelsea left-back Patrick van Aanholt has signed a new four-year deal, which will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2015.

The 20-year-old Dutchman was impressive whenever he got the chance to play for the Blues’ first team in the early part of the season, and scored on his first start against Newcastle in the Carling Cup.

After making eight appearances for Chelsea this season, he moved out on loan to Sven-Goran Eriksson’s Leicester City in the Championship.

I believe either van Aanholt or Ryan Bertrand can provide more than able backup for Ashley Cole and hope they continue to progress next season.
