Chelsea have secured the future of Ghanaian promising midfielder Sam Rak-Sakyi and are set to sign him to a new two-year deal, the BBC reports.
The 19-year-old saw his contract expire in June while protracted but amicable talks have seen discussions extend into August.
Rak-Sakyi, who has been with the club since he was eight years old, is expected to sign his new two year extension until 2026 on Wednesday.
It follows a successful season playing 49 matches across various youth levels last season.
However, an untimely injury will block his chance of leaving on loan this summer, with injury also derailing a desired loan move for Finland Under-21s international Jimi Tauriainen.
Rak-Sakyi will ultimately hope to emulate his senior brother, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi who has broken into the first team at Crystal Palace and made 10 appearances for the South Londoners.
He is reportedly ready to join Sheffield United on a season-long loan deal.
