Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero has signed a new one-year contract extension at the club, ending speculation linking him with a move to West Ham.
The 37-year-old has been the Blues’ number two ‘keeper since signing from Premier League rivals Manchester City in 2017.
West Ham had been hoping to move for the Argentine this summer, as they look to provide back-up for Polish stopper Lukasz Fabianski.
However, Caballero has now committed to Chelsea for the 2019-20 season, joining team-mate Olivier Giroud, who signed a similar extension on Tuesday.
“I am very happy to renew my contract with Chelsea and hopefully we can enjoy the next season and achieve a lot of targets,” Caballero said.
“For me to stay at a big club like Chelsea was a really easy decision.”
Caballero has made nine first-team appearances this season, but his campaign will perhaps be best remembered for an incident in the EFL Cup Final, when Maurizio Sarri tried to bring him on for the penalty shootout, only for first-choice goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to refuse to leave the field in what was later labelled as a misunderstanding.
