Defender Lorenzo Tonelli agrees a new contract with Empoli that runs until the summer of 2019.

Empoli have announced that Lorenzo Tonelli has signed a new contract with the Serie A club.

The 25-year-old's previous deal with the Blues had been due to expire in 2017.

However, the defender, who scored the only goal of the game in Empoli's 1-0 win over Lazio at the weekend, has now agreed a two-year extension.

Former Italy Under-21 international Tonelli has risen through the ranks at the Stadio Carlo Castellani, having made his debut in 2010.
