Chelsea have completed the signing of left-back Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano, with the 28-year-old putting pen to paper on a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge, according to BBC News.
The Spaniard made 44 appearances across all competitions for Rayo last season, establishing himself as a key figure before making the switch to the Premier League.
Chavarria didn't hide his excitement at completing the move, admitting: "Today is one of the best days of my life... This is a dream for me."
Full financial details of the transfer have not been disclosed, but the length of the contract underlines Chelsea's long-term commitment to the defender as they continue reshaping their squad. The BBC report offers no further specifics on the fee involved or how Chavarria is expected to fit into Enzo Maresca's plans, but his arrival adds fresh competition and depth to Chelsea's options at left-back heading into the new season.
