OFFICIAL: Marc Cucurella Joins Chelsea!
DONE DEAL!
Chelsea and Brighton have both announced that defender Marc Cucurella has made the transfer from the south cost to London.
Chelsea have officially confirmed it with a statement on Twitter:
And then came a post from the man himself!
Cucurella joins for £55m plus add-ons, and has signed a 6-year contract with the club. I am also told that he should be available for tomorrow’s match with The Blues getting his paperwork in on time before midday today.
The medical was completed last night.
Levi Colwill will join Brighton on a season-long-loan deal that will be confirmed very soon, and this will have no option to buy.
In the new away kit too!
On signing for Chelsea, Cucurella said: ‘I’m really happy. It’s a big opportunity for me to join one of the best clubs in the world and I’m going to work hard to be happy here and help the team.’
Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly said: ‘Marc is an elite defender of proven Premier League quality and he further strengthens our squad going into the new season. We continue to work on and off the pitch, and we’re delighted Marc will be a part of the present and future at Chelsea.’
Behdad Eghbali and José E. Feliciano , co-controlling owners, said: ‘We’re very excited to bring Marc to Chelsea and he is another key part of our squad building as we enter the new season. We’re all looking forward to getting started on the pitch now, and Marc only adds to that feeling. We welcome him to the club!’
What an amazing signing this is for Chelsea! Very pleased to see this done, amazing work. Welcome Cucu!!
