Commenting on the new deal, Simeu wrote on Instagram : ''Dream come true to have signed my first professional contract with @chelseafc 🙌🏾 Thankyou to my friends and family for guiding me till this point!💙💥''.

He has represented and captained England U15 and U16 National Teams, and also has caps for the Young Lions at U17 level.

This season, Simeu has featured for Chelsea in the U18 Premier League, UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup.
