“Getting us back in the top four in the Premier League is very important, and we couldn’t be happier with our success in the Champions League crowning an incredible season at Chelsea.”

“Therefore, we are obviously very happy to keep Thomas for another two years, and look forward to more achievements in the coming season.”
