Jimmy-Jay Morgan Extends Chelsea Contract for Three More Years
Jimmy-Jay Morgan has shared his excitement following the signing of a new contract with Chelsea, extending his commitment to the Premier League club for an additional three years.
The 18-year-old forward, who originally joined Chelsea from Southampton at the end of the January 2023 transfer window, expressed his joy at the extension.
In a statement made to Chelsea’s website on Wednesday, Morgan said, “I am incredibly pleased to extend my stay with Chelsea.
It’s an honour to be part of such a renowned club. Since I arrived, I’ve felt very much at home, which has given me the confidence to push my limits and strive for excellence. I’m truly thankful and feel fortunate to be a part of this amazing team.”
Morgan made a significant impact during the 2023–24 season, finishing as the top scorer for the Under-21s with 16 goals across all competitions.
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
Former Manchester City player David Silva has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or and revealed who he believes could win the prestigious award.
During a recent interview, the former midfielder was asked who he thinks will win the award, and he named Fabian Ruiz.
Silva’s choice sparked reactions from fans, especially as he did not mention Barcelona star Lamine Yamal as one of his picks.
“For me, teamwork is the most important thing, because without it you cannot win. If I had to give the Ballon d’Or to someone, it would be Fabian, because he has won the most titles in the last two years.
“He does not get enough recognition, I do not know why, because he is a wonderful player. I admire him a lot.”
