Just a five days ago, reports about where Chelsea Defender Gary Cahill was going to be playing his football long term were quite uncertain. According to the Times of London on November 26th, Gary Cahill’s Chelsea future is in doubt, with the Blues only willing to give him a one-year contract.
Well, these questions were answered resoundingly today.
Today, Cahill signed a new four-year Chelsea contract, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until 2019.
Gary Cahill told the club’s official website: “I’m really pleased to commit my future to Chelsea and it’s great the club has put their faith in me.”
“I have achieved a lot here and I hope I can keep on learning, helping the team and lifting trophies over the next four years.”

With all the uncertainty surrounding the long term futures of Diego Costa, Radamel Falcao and even Manager Jose Mourinho, it’s good for the Blues to lock up some stability somewhere.
