Marcus Bettinelli pledged his future to the Premier League team, Chelsea.

The goalkeeper signed a contract extension that would keep him with the Blues through 2026.

After moving to Chelsea from West London rivals Fulham in 2021, Bettinelli has primarily been used as a backup option to Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy.

The 30-year-old made just one competitive appearance for the Blues last season, which came in the FA Cup match against Chesterfield, which they easily won 5-1.

He is still excited to stay by Graham Potter's side.

He told the club's website: "It is a privilege to be at a club like Chelsea, one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"A couple of years ago when I signed, I was delighted to be here, delighted to sign.

"To be here now and see the club going through this transition and seeing what we are developing, it is amazing to be a part of and I am buzzing to be here for an extra couple of years."

Chelsea return to Premier League action after the international break when they host Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The Blues are 10th in the table with 11 games remaining, and 11 points shy of fourth-placed Tottenham.
