It is massive for the lad to agree this deal, he probably deserves his first big contract, but despite how happy he is, he will probably spend the next few seasons out on loan somewhere.

CHELSEA have a habit of letting talents like Landon getting lost in the system, they have so many players in that Blues first team that he may never get the chance to prove himself at Chelsea.

It is great news for the lad and he must be happy, but there is a long way to go before the lad can fulfil his dream of playing for that Chelsea first team on a regular basis
