Shumaira Mheuka signs new Chelsea contract before loan move

Summary

Shumaira Mheuka has agreed to a new long-term contract with Chelsea, with plans to go on loan for the 2026/27 season. The England Under-19 international has been with Chelsea since 2022 and was named Player of the Year in Premier League 2 last season. Mheuka scored 18 goals in 19 appearances and captained the U21 team to a league title. Despite his talent, opportunities with the first team have been limited, prompting the loan move to gain experience.
