Chelsea signs Chavarria as replacement left back for Cucurella
Chelsea has signed Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano as a replacement for left back Marc Cucurella, according to reports. The 25-year-old Spaniard signed a deal until 2031, joining the London club as Cucurella moves to Real Madrid. Chavarria helped Rayo Vallecano reach the Conference League final last season and finish eighth in La Liga for a second consecutive year.
The new signing expressed his excitement about joining one of the biggest clubs in the world. Under new manager Xavi Alonso, Chelsea has bolstered its defense with signings including Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palestra, and Geovany Quenda this offseason, in addition to Marcus Rogers, Jordan Henderson, Valentin Barco, and striker Danny Welbeck.
