Chelsea news: Erin Cuthbert celebrates contract extension with Women's League Cup title win
Erin Cuthbert’s Chelsea legacy is far from over, as the Scotland international committed her future to the Blues with a contract extension, keeping her at the club until 2028.
Just days after putting pen to paper, she capped the moment with another trophy, playing a key role in Chelsea’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the Women’s League Cup final.
Cuthbert, who joined Chelsea in December 2016, has been vital to the club’s dominance in English and European football.
Her versatility, leadership, and relentless energy make her a cornerstone of Sonia Bompastor’s new era at Kingsmeadow.
In the contract extension announcement, the 26-year-old midfielder expressed her gratitude to the club.
She said: “Eight years ago I left my home and found another one. Thank you, Chelsea.”
A winning mentality
With seven WSL titles, four FA Cups, one Community Shield and now three League Cups to her name, the 26-year-old’s extension is a statement of intent.
As Chelsea transition under Bompastor following Emma Hayes’ departure, keeping players with Cuthbert’s experience and mentality is crucial.
The Scot’s influence was on full display in the League Cup final.
She delivered a typically tenacious performance in midfield, battling tirelessly to help Chelsea secure their first trophy under Bompastor.
Quadruple hopes stay alive
The win keeps the club’s quadruple hopes alive, with the Blues still in the hunt for the WSL, FA Cup, and UEFA Women’s Champions League - a competition Chelsea are yet to triumph in.
Cuthbert’s renewal also sends a message: Chelsea remains committed to continuity and ambition despite a changing environment.
With key players like Sam Kerr out injured and the squad adjusting to a new manager, her leadership will be vital in the months ahead.
Bompastor’s vision is beginning to take shape, and securing Cuthbert’s future is a crucial step.
As Chelsea chase more silverware, their midfield engine is staying right where she belongs.
