Ramires signs up RAMIRES has handed beleaguered Chelsea a boost — by agreeing a three-year contract extension until 2017. The Brazil midfielder joined the Blues from Benfica for £18million in August 2010. And the 24-year-old has now been handed improved terms. Ramires was back in action in the FA Cup draw with Birmingham on Saturday following a three-week knee injury lay-off. He has eight goals in 26 starts in all games this season. Meanwhile, team-mate John Obi Mikel admits Chelsea cannot afford to miss out on Champions League football next season. Mikel, 24, said: "We must finish in the top four — anything less than that is disaster. "That will ease the pressure off us to look forward to a better season where we can think of winning the title." http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4142332/Chelsea-news-Ramires-signs-up-with-new-deal.html
