Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero has signed a one-year extension to his contract at Stamford Bridge.

The 37-year-old has largely been back up to first-choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga this season, making a total of nine appearances across all competitions.

"I am very happy to renew my contract with Chelsea and hopefully we can enjoy the next season and achieve a lot of targets," he told the club's website.

"For me to stay at a big club like Chelsea was a really easy decision."

Chelsea signed Caballero on a free transfer from Manchester City in 2017 on a one-year deal and last summer they took up the option to extend that through the 2018/19 campaign.
