The Belgian international has established himself as number-one goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge ahead of Petr Cech.
The 22-year-old has earned a new contract that will keep him at the club until at least 2019 – following with his impressive displays during three season-long loan spells at Spanish club Atletico Madrid after joining the Blues from the Belgian side Genk in 2011. He helped Atletico to win the La Liga title last season.
