Star pens new deal
Chelsea, 17:17, October 11, 2009 ,
Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou says he has committed his future to the club by penning a new four-year deal.
The Ivory Coast ace was due to fall out of contract at the end of the season but Chelsea have been keen to tie him down to improved terms after being hit with a transfer ban for the next two windows.
Talks have been going on for a while and the 23-year-old now says he has penned his new contract which is reported to be worth as much as £60,000 a week.
"Signing this deal with Chelsea has freed my mind to concentrate on football," Kalou has been quoted as saying in the People newspaper.
