Marcos Alonso has joined Chelsea from Fiorentina on the summer transfer deadline day in a deal thought to be around £23m.
Fiorentina confirmed the deal on their official website on Wednesday afternoon.
Chelsea, shortly afterwards, have confirmed the deal as well on their official website.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has addressed the need of signing a left-back and a centre-back and Alonso fits the bill perfectly. The 25-year-old defender has the required experience to play in both positions and therefore would be a very good addition for the Blues.
Alonso becomes Chelsea’s fourth major signing of the summer and joins Michy Batshuayi, N’Golo Kante and Portugal goalkeeper Eduardo at Stamford Bridge.
