Antonia Rudiger has
completed his move to Chelsea football club from Italian club, Roma in a five-year
deal in the region of £34million.
Rudiger is the second
signing for Chelsea this summer.
The 24-year-old, German
international, will wear jersey No.2, and is delighted to have made the move to
the Premier League champions.
"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," he said.
Rudiger represents a
positive move for the Blues after a difficult summer in the transfer market so
far.
Manchester United beat
them to top striker target Romelu Lukaku while Juventus continue to play
hardball over a fee for defender Alex Sandro.
But Rudiger's arrival,
alongside Willy Caballero - a free transfer arrival following his release by
Manchester City - should lighten manager Antonio Conte's mood.
Monaco's Tiemoue Bakayoko
is expected to be the next man through the door in a move that should allow
Nemanja Matic to move to United in a deal worth up to £40m.
