The England left-back Ashley Cole has signed a one-year contract extension at Chelsea.
Cole's previous deal was set to expire at the end of the season and at one stage he was expected to leave Stamford Bridge.
However the 32-year-old, linked with Real Madrid and Paris St-Germain recently, has agreed fresh terms at the club he joined from Arsenal in 2006.
"I am pleased I will be starting my eighth season at Chelsea," Cole said. "I have great memories here and I enjoy coming to training every day. The staff are amazing and I enjoy training with the lads.
"I have been able to fulfil nearly all my ambitions at Chelsea. I have won the Champions League, the League, I have won FA Cups here but of course you don't want to stop winning trophies and being at a big club, you are always fighting to win a trophy.
"Being here for seven years and being at Arsenal before that playing for trophies, you never lose that hunger. I wanted to stay at Chelsea because we are always fighting and challenging for trophies. That desire and the will to want to win things have not gone."
