Chelsea's third-choice goalkeeper Eduardo has signed a new one-year contract - and is still waiting for his first Blues appearance.

The 34-year-old joined on a 12-month deal from Dinamo Zagreb last summer as back-up to Thibaut Courtois and Asmir Begovic, who has been linked with a summer move to Bournemouth.

'I am very happy to stay at Chelsea for another year,' Eduardo told Chelsea's website.

'This season has been very successful for the club, and everybody has made me feel like a part of the family.

'I hope next season can be just as positive and we can win many more trophies.'

Portugal international Eduardo is yet to make a single senior appearance for the Blues but technical director Michael Emenalo has been impressed with his work ethic behind the scenes.

'Since joining us last summer, Eduardo has been a model professional,' Emenalo said.

'He has used his wealth of experience at the top level to bring the very best from his fellow goalkeepers and has been a reliable, popular and respected member of the squad.

'We are delighted he has chosen to commit his future to Chelsea.'
