Chelsea have completed the signing of left-back Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano for a fee of £16.2million
The 28-year-old is the replacement for fellow Spaniard Marc Cucurella who left Stamford Bridge for Real Madrid earlier this summer.
Chavarria has signed a five year contract after making his name with Real Zaragoza and then becoming a key part of a Rayo side that secured successive eighth-placed finishes in La Liga and qualified for last season’s Conference League final.
