Nigeria midfielder John Obi Mikel has signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea and will now remain at the club until 2014.
The 22-year-old, who moved to Stamford Bridge from the Norwegian side Lyn Oslo is 2006, has already made almost 100 appearances for the Blues, helping the club to two FA Cup triumphs and a Carling Cup success.
"It was easy to commit to because I am happy here and when the opportunity came it was good to sign after speaking to the club," Mikel told the club's official website.
"My future with the new manager will be bright, and I think we have a good working relationship already.
"All the managers I have played for here have their own type of systems they want us to play, and whoever comes in will want to change little bits and pieces.
"There is not much to change but they all bring in different views, and the new manager wants us to play in a certain formation which we need to get used to before the season starts."
