Congratulations from Stamford Bridge as striker signs three-year deal with Chelsea

Chelsea striker Jimmy-Jay Morgan has agreed a new contract until 2027, the Blues have confirmed today

The Blues posted on the club website: ‘Signed from Southampton in January 2023, Morgan enjoyed a productive 2023/24 season for the Blues. He netted 16 times for our Under-21s, including an impressive hat-trick in a 3-2 Premier League 2 victory over Reading in January.

‘Morgan also made four appearances in the FA Youth Cup for our Under-18s and netted in a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in the fifth round.

‘Congratulations, Jimmy-Jay!’

Speaking after signing his contract, Morgan said: ‘I am extremely happy to extend my stay. Who wouldn’t be, it’s CHELSEA!

‘Ever since joining the club, I have felt comfortable in the environment, which makes you confident enough to push yourself to new limits and get the best out of you. I’m grateful and very lucky to be part of this community.’

‘Completing last season was significant for me as it was my first full season back since my surgery. Finishing as top goal scorer was a huge achievement, but I want to repeat that again this season – I forgot to mention, I am very ambitious!

‘But along with performing well, I have recently learned the importance of maintaining a positive state of mind. Holding a strong mental attitude is crucial and can take you just as far as being a talented player on the pitch.

‘I feel really fit physically and mentally I am in a steady place. My headspace is completely focused and filled with motivation.’
