Tino Anjorin, pictured, is close to completing a new long-term contract at Chelsea (Simon Cooper/PA)Highly rated Chelsea academy graduate Tino Anjorin is close to signing a new long-term deal at Stamford Bridge. The 18-year-old has more than a year to run on his current Blues deal but is now expected to finalise extended terms to keep him in west London, the PA news agency understands. The business of recruitment and retention may move more slowly but has not ground to a halt, and Anjorin’s fresh deal at Chelsea continues to edge towards completion. Dorset-born Anjorin joined Chelsea’s development centre programme at under-sevens level, officially signing for the club two years later. And on March 8 he came off the bench for his Premier League bow as the Blues routed Everton 4-0 at Stamford Bridge.
