Guus Hiddink hints at new deals for Chelsea pair
GUUS HIDDINK has confirmed Chelsea are in discussions to extend the contracts of two of their star men.
The Blues interim boss revealed that both Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Branislav Ivanovic are in talks over new deals.
“I’m aware that the club is talking," a tight-lipped Hiddink said after he was quizzed over the pair.
Loftus-Cheek, 19, scored his first Chelsea goal in their 2-0 FA Cup third-round win over Scunthorpe on Sunday.
The academy product has made just seven appearances this season.
Ivanovic, meanwhile, was expected to leave the club at the end of the season when his current deal expired.
The right-back has reportedly caught the eye of Italian clubs, with Milan said to have opened talks with is representatives.
Hiddink reiterates he has been happy with Ruben Loftus-Cheek's performances in training and on the pitch since he returned. #CFC
