Juan Familio-Castillo wants to stay at Chelsea this summer as a result of Frank Lampard's appointment as manager.

Juan Familio-Castillo wants to sign a new deal with Chelsea

The 19-year-old claimed last month that he was set to leave the club on a free transfer following three seasons in west London, but he is now ready to discuss a new contract.

Familio-Castillo, 19, has made a big impact at junior level — winning the FA Youth Cup and featuring in back-to-back UEFA Youth League finals — but he has yet to feature for the Blues' first team. 

Familio-Castillo — who can play at left back or as a winger — previously worked with Morris when he was on the Chelsea books as a youth coach between 2014 and 2018. 

Lampard's arrival with Morris is likely to have a positive impact on multiple youngsters at the club, giving them hope that they will be given opportunities to shine in the senior setup. 

 

Chelsea are set to pay Derby £4million in compensation for Lampard, who has won 24 games, drawn 17 and lost 16 as Derby boss.
