Chelsea has officially confirmed their eleventh acquisition of the summer transfer window, securing the services of Pep Chavarria. The 28-year-old Spanish left-back joins the London club from La Liga side Rayo Vallecano on a five-year deal.

The transfer fee has not been officially disclosed, but reports in the English press suggest Chelsea will pay approximately ยฃ16.3 million, including bonuses. Chavarria's arrival is seen as a direct replacement for Marc Cucurella, who recently moved to Real Madrid.
