Lionesses star Millie Bright in 'discussions' over new Chelsea deal as Blues start to make decisions on nine out-of-contract players

West Ham United Women

Chelsea FC Women

<p>Bright is one of nine players to have just entered the final six months of her current Chelsea deal, along with goalkeeper Zecira Musovic, full-back Eve Perisset, midfielder Erin Cuthbert and the injured trio of Sophie Ingle, Kadeisha Buchanan and Aniek Nouwen. Wingers Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Guro Reiten are also out-of-contract this summer, though their deals do include one-year options.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Unsurprisingly, club captain Bright appears to be one of the priorities for Chelsea on this list of names, with <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c2dxjw4pexno" target="_blank"><em>BBC Sport</em></a> reporting that the defender 'has been in discussions' over a new contract at the club she joined way back in 2014. The 31-year-old remains one of the Blues' most important players after reaching a decade in London, playing every single minute for them in the Women's Super League this season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The report also names Cuthbert and Buchanan as players that Chelsea 'want' to get new deals sorted for. Cuthbert's importance to Sonia Bompastor's team is underlined by the fact that she often wears the armband whenever Bright isn't on the pitch. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-women-canada-defender-kadeisha-buchanan-suffers-torn-acl-sonia-bompastor-confirms-devastating-blow/blt1a7a53fc05d0b627" target="_blank">Buchanan, meanwhile, suffered a devastating ACL injury in November which likely spells the end of her season</a>, but had been growing in stature in this squad before that. She has also worked with head coach Bompastor before, at Lyon.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>It's unclear at this moment if Chelsea are keen to renew the contracts of any of the other players set to become free agents in the summer, but the picture should become clearer over the coming weeks and months, especially after the January transfer window opened on Wednesday.</p>
