Chelsea have completed the signing of Marc Cucurella for £55 million with the possibility of another £7 million in add-ons. The Spanish defender has signed a six-year deal.
The 24-year-old defender joined Brighton for a fee in the region of £15 million from Getafe less than a year ago and subsequently earned their player of the season f award. Cucurella featured 39 times for the Seagulls last season and produced one goal and two assists for Graham Potter's side.
Speaking ahead of the announcement, Tuchel outlined how the defender will fit into his plans for the coming season. The German coach hopes the club's new signing can take the pressure of Ben Chilwell.
