London's "Chelsea" club took a significant step beyond the pitch. The "Aristocrats" announced on Monday that one of the team leaders, Reece James, has extended his contract with the club. The 22-year-old Englishman put pen to paper on a new six-year deal. "I am incredibly happy about the new contract. I want to thank the fans, the leadership, and everyone involved with this club. I believe that with this club I can fight for trophies. I grew up as a fan of this club. The extension of the contract was a very simple question because this is the team where I want to be," R.
