Nico joined the Blues in late-June 2023 and enjoyed an impressive first campaign at Stamford Bridge. He netted 17 goals across all competitions, which included a hat-trick away to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
He has started the current campaign strongly, with two goals scored in four appearances.
‘I am feeling very good and am very happy to sign a new contract and stay at the club,’ the 23-year-old said.
‘It feels great the club has confidence in me. I am working very hard. I am very happy to extend my contract and stay here for many years.’
Nico’s journey to Chelsea started at the age of 16 when he joined ASC Tilene. It was his first experience of organised football.
His talent quickly stood out and he moved on to professional side Casa Sport. A little over a year later, he signed for Villarreal.
After a loan spell at second-tier club Mirandes and impressive performances for Villarreal B, Nico established himself in the Spanish club’s first-team squad.
He made 38 appearances during the 2022/23 campaign and struck 13 goals. Nico also earned a place in the Senegal squad for the 2022 World Cup.
Since completing his switch to Chelsea, he has made 48 appearances in blue and become a regular starter for his country.
Congratulations, Nico!

Has he extended by another two years? Or is this the old contract news?

I’m glad we’re committing to him. I see a big future in him.

My striker ❤️ I love this lad, and I have a lot of faith in him. The best strikers miss a lot of big chances, the positives is he is getting in the right positions, and his link up play is elite

I literally love this man like he’s my own family member. Parasocial relationship? Yes. Don’t care

Clearly very gifted, he’s still quite new to professional football, think there is much more to come if he is willing to learn.

Not a Chelsea fan but a 9 year contract is insane.
He’s good but he’s not Messi wtf are Chelsea thinking.
I just need him to plant his foot when he strikes the ball

I like Jackson my issue is we need a second senior out and out striker in the squad that doesn’t mean they have to be a Osimhen or Gyokeres.

The anti-Drogba. Will score against weak teams (which is necessary and a historical Chelsea weakness) but will be a bottler in big games (FA Cup semi final, carabao final, first game of this season against city etc)
