Chelsea are set to secure a new long-term contract for striker Joao Pedro, which will see him remain at the club until 2034.
Sources at Stamford Bridge expect the deal to go through before the start of the Premier League season.
Internally, the Brazil international is regarded as a major success after joining from Brighton in a deal worth an initial £55m, plus £5m in add-ons, last summer.
Last season, Joao Pedro became the first Chelsea striker since Diego Costa to score 20 goals in a campaign without taking penalties.
He also scored three times during Chelsea's Club World Cup-winning campaign last summer and has netted eight goals in seven pre-season matches.
His success has led Chelsea to hand him the number nine shirt, with Liam Delap relinquishing it. Delap is available for transfer for around £50m and is attracting interest from Nottingham Forest and Leeds United.
Chelsea intend to hand out a number of new contracts to key players after the transfer window closes, with Levi Colwill and Estevao Willian among those likely to be considered.
Joao Pedro is likely to start Chelsea's Premier League opener at Fulham on Monday, with new signings Danny Welbeck and Emmanuel Emegha expected to provide cover this season.
The new contract extension will see Joao Pedro tied to Chelsea until at least 2034, with the option for the club to extend it by a further two years.
This move is seen as a significant vote of confidence in the 24-year-old's abilities, following a successful debut season in England.
Chelsea's decision to hand Joao Pedro the number nine shirt is a clear indication of his importance to the team.
With the new season just around the corner, Chelsea fans will be eager to see Joao Pedro continue his impressive form on the pitch.
The Brazilian striker is expected to be a key player for Chelsea this season, and his new contract extension will give him the stability and security to focus on his game.
