Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic has signed a contract extension with the London side which takes him through to 2016.
The 26-year-old Serbia international joined the London club in January 2008 for a reported 4-million pounds.
After agreeing to the five-and-half-year deal, Ivanovic said on Thursday: "My first vision was always to stay with Chelsea, there were not a lot of problems because I wanted to stay."
Ivanovic has won two FA Cups and a Premier League title with Chelsea.
