Franco Di Santo's loan spell at Blackburn Rovers has been extended until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old Argentine forward has been a regular at Ewood Park since switching to the north-west in August, contributing an important goal against local rivals Burnley in 15 league appearances.
Di Santo had an impressive pre-season with the Blues, scoring in our 2-0 win over Mexican side Club America before agreeing to link up with Sam Allardyce's men on his return from America.
Franco arrived at Chelsea from Chilean side Audux Italiano in January 2008, proving a sensation in the reserves with seven goals in eight games.
Last season, Franco made his debut at home to Spurs in August, and went on to make 16 appearances, all as a substitute.
Franco goes robot racing! Posted on: Tue 23 Feb 2010
Winning Premier League games and a place in Rovers' starting line-up may be at the forefront of Franco Di Santo'smind, but he was chasing a victory of a different kind when he teamedup with some local students at the Blackburn Rovers Community TrustEducation Department.
As part of the Premier League's Places forPlayers initiative, the Argentine ace was helping youngsters from St.Aidan's Primary School in Blackburn to design, programme and racerobots.
Each one was assigned a famous face and the ever enthusiastic Franco was desperate to see his first past the post.
Raringto go, Franco's challenger joined his rivals - the cast of Sky Sports'Soccer Saturday programme - on the grid. However, a slow start and somewayward driving put paid to striker's hopes of victory, with PaulMerson crossing the finishing line in first place.
Despitemissing out on the champagne moment, Franco fully enjoyed his firsttaste of robot racing and engaging with the local fans.
"It was a lot of fun, because I got to spend time with the youngchildren, practice my English and try to build my robot," he said.
"It was very easy, because the boys helped me out and I think they are more intelligent than me!
"Inever had toys like this when I was younger - just a football. Mostkids in Argentina just play football on the streets, so it's great thatthese local pupils have such excellent facilities and opportunities ontheir doorstep."

ThroughCreating Chances, the Premier League uses the power of football toengage all sectors of society in the participation of sport andintervention programmes which address key social issues.
Chelsea star lined up for move to Dutch champions
Chelsea's Argentinian striker Franco Di Santo is being offered a chance to play in the Champions League with Dutch title winners Twente Enschede.
Di Santo is back at Stamford Bridge after a year on loan with Blackburn - and the young South American target man wants to move again for first-team football.
He is prepared to quit the Double winners and will be cleared to speak to Twente about a move to Dutch football.
Di Santo scored only one goal in the Premier League for Rovers and grew disillusioned when he was left out of the side for most of the second half of the campaign.
