Chelsea confirm the £58m signing of Romeo Lavia from Southampton, as he reveals the THREE reasons which made him snub Liverpool for the Blues - and 'history' is one of them!

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Southampton star Romeo Lavia in a deal worth £58million.

The Blues have been keen to bolster their midfield options this summer and have turned to the Belgian international, just days after the capture of Moises Caicedo.

Lavia has put pen to paper on a seven-year deal with the west London giants after completing his medical on Thursday, as Mail Sport revealed.

Speaking to the club website, Lavia said: ‘I’m really happy join Chelsea and be a part of this exciting project. It’s an amazing football club with a great history and I’m really excited to get started.
