Jeffrey Bruma has been at Chelsea since 2007 and whilst he’s been missing through injury recently, having undergone hernia surgery, bringing him through to the first team always seemed to be part of

Carlo Ancelotti’s plans.

So, the welcome news that Chelsea have just given him a new contract which will keep him at the club until 2014 shouldn’t come as any great surprise.

Bruma himself, says “I have been working to improve all the time I have been here and a next step is getting your next contract, and now it is time to improve again. I have made my international debut already and that was the aim for two or three years’ time. It has come so early, and when you reach your targets you obviously have to set new ones, so my new targets are to play as much as I can at Chelsea in the first team and get in the Dutch full squad again as soon as I am fit.”

And that’s exactly the sort of attitude we want.
