Chelsea Have Completed The Signing Of Ben Chilwell From Leicester

Ben Chilwell has completed the transfer of the left-back from Leicester City.

It's been confirmed that the English international has put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

Ben Chilwell joins Chelsea for a reported fee of around 50m pounds.

On making the move to Stamford Bridge, Chilwell said: ‘I am delighted to be joining Chelsea at this very exciting time for the club. I’m looking forward to being a part of this young, dynamic squad led by Frank Lampard as we challenge for honours next season. I can’t wait to get started and hopefully it won’t be long before we’re playing in front of the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge.’

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: ‘We are very pleased to have completed our third addition to our exciting squad for the coming season. Ben brings plenty of top-level experience playing in the Premier League, Champions League and at international level, despite his young age.

‘We are confident Ben will adapt very quickly to being a Chelsea player and with the fixture programme for 2020/21 especially busy, he is a fantastic addition to the squad needed to challenge for honours.’

The full back becomes Frank Lampard third signing after Hakim Ziyech from Ajax and Timo Werner from RB Leipzig have already signed for the Blues.
