There is a lot of talk about who the new owners of Chelsea FC might be, what their plans are, how the stadium will be rebuilt and how they will run the club.
None of us know yet who the new owners will be, but there is one thing they need to prioritize, as well as all the commonly talked about topics, and that is academy forward Harvey Vale’s new contract.
The rising young star had more minutes in Thomas Tuchel’s first team on Saturday against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup quarter-final, and he is a player with a great future ahead of him. The new owners must do everything they can to ensure that the future belongs to Chelsea.
Before Chelsea went up for sale we had heard rumors that the current establishment were trying to extend Vale’s contract, but you can obviously imagine that all contract negotiations and transfer plans are currently on hold until the new owners keep your feet firmly on the ground. . under the table.
But Vale only has one year left on his contract this summer, so we need to make sure we treat future contract negotiations with him as a top priority. His quality is too high to allow him to go elsewhere, and if he doesn’t have a future at Chelsea, surely he will at another top club, I have no doubt.
He is a special type of player and is very versatile. His style of play really suits Tuchel’s Chelsea, and he obviously notices that too by having him train regularly in the first team recently. So you imagine that Tuchel really wants Vale to stay too.
Of course, there will be plenty of pressing issues for the new owners to iron out, but contracts for players like Vale shouldn’t be left on the back burner.
