Chelsea have tied young defender Todd Kane down to a new three-year contract.
The 21-year-old, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, has yet to make a senior competitive appearance for the Premier League champions.
But Jose Mourinho has seen enough in him to secure his future at Stamford Bridge.

Kane, who has also had loan spells at Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City, was part of Chelsea’s Under-18 side which won the FA Youth Cup in 2012, and has also skippered the Under-21 team.

Mourinho has admitted that he would like to add a couple of defenders to his squad this summer, and has Everton’s England international John Stones and Augsburg left-back Baba Rahman on his wish-list.
If neither of those deals were to materialise, Kane might find himself deputy to Branislav Ivanovic at right-back, with Cesar Azpilicueta busy on the left flank and Andreas Christensen already out on loan.
