Ivanovic takes it to the Bridge until 2016
Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic has signed a new five-and-a-half-year contract with the club.
Ivanovic will remain at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2016 after agreeing the new deal.
The Serbian, who can play at right-back or centre-half, has made 99 appearances for the Blues since arriving from Lokomotiv Moscow in 2008.
Ivanovic told the club`s official website: "It is good news for me, it is a very big step for me in my career and I want to give my maximum and try to help Chelsea win a lot more trophies.
"These things take a little time but my first vision was always to stay with Chelsea, there were not a lot of problems because I wanted to stay, the club wanted me to stay and I want to thank everyone who helped with the deal, I am very happy with that."
