Chelsea are set to renew striker Joao Pedro's contract until 2034 before the start of the Premier League season.
Sources at Stamford Bridge say they expect the deal to go through - while those close to the 24-year-old say a full agreement has already been reached on a contract to run until 2032, with an option for the club to extend it by a further two years.
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.
