Chelsea have completed the signing of Antonio Rudiger from Roma for a reported £34 million.The centre-back had been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge last year and the Blues reignited their interest this summer, agreeing a fee with the Serie A side last week.
He has signed a five-year deal with the Premier League champions, and will wear the No.2 shirt that was vacated by Branislav Ivanovic following his sale to Zenit in January.
He Said:
“It’s a great feeling because not every player has the opportunity to join a huge club like this,” he told the club’s official website.
“I am looking forward to meeting up with my new team-mates and I’m very proud to officially become a Chelsea player.”
