Hector, a trainee of Millwall before joining Reading, moved to Stamford Bridge last year for a reported fee of £4 million after it had looked like he was set to join Crystal Palace. The Jamaican centre-back was then loaned back to the Royals and played a key part in the club's run to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup before participating in the Copa America Centenario.
