Defender commits future
Chelsea, 19:45, October 13, 2009 ,
Alex has become the latest player to commit his future to Chelsea after penning a new four-year deal at the club.
Chelsea are working hard to secure their top players to new deals and news of Alex signing follows hot on the heels of Salomon Kalou's decision to also pen a new four-year contract.
"I am very happy to start again to train and feel no pain, and to sign for four more years," said Alex.
"It was easy to decide to sign and now I hope to get back to playing well. My condition now is so-so. I think in two more weeks I am 100 per cent and can play without a problem."
Chelsea now also hope to tie midfielder Joe Cole to a new deal and talks are progressing.
