Moises Caicedo is set to sign a contract extension at Chelsea to commit his future to the west London club, football.london understands.
The Ecuador international's current deal is not due to expire until the summer of 2031 but he is now expected to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge. Terms of the new deal have now been agreed, with Caicedo set to be handed a pay rise following his performances since signing from Brighton in the summer of 2024.
The 24-year-old recently stated he wanted to become a legend at Chelsea, at a similar time to when Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella both flirted with a move away from SW6.

Speaking during the international break, Caicedo said: "I'm focused on my club right now. I have a contract with my club, and I want to do well. I want to be a legend, God willing."
Liam Rosenior teased reporters earlier this month, saying: "We've also had conversations with certain players in the group as well who are really, really happy with the direction that we're going to go in."
Asked to elaborate on those comments, the Chelsea head coach replied: "You'll see."
It is clear now Rosenior was referring to Caicedo extending his stay, and if his comments are anything to go by, there could be one or two more to follow in the Ecuadorian's footsteps.
Caicedo arrived at Chelsea almost three years ago for a then-British record fee of £115million from Brighton. Since moving to Stamford Bridge, the Ecuador international, who chose the Blues over a switch to Liverpool, has made 140 appearances.
Caicedo was crowned Chelsea's Player of the Season for his contributions during the 2024/25 campaign, where he helped the Blues achieve success in the Conference League and Club World Cup, while also securing a Champions League finish.
