Breaking: I am excited joining Chelsea–Chilwell
Ben Chilwell has expressed his delight at joining Chelsea after completing a five-year deal from Leicester for a fee of £50m on Wednesday.
The England defender will earn £190,000-per-week after passing a medical and also having checks on the heel injury that ruled him out of the end of last season.
Chilwell said: ‘I am delighted to be joining Chelsea at this very exciting time for the club.
The 23-year-old is the club’s third major signing and a major target for this summer following the previous captures of Hakim Ziyech for just under £37m from Ajax and forward Timo Werner for £49m from RB Leipzig.
Signing a new left-back was a big transfer window priority for Lampard.
Chilwell’s move to Stamford Bridge ends his 11-year association with Leicester.
