Chelsea’s forgotten summer signing Gabriel Slonina is due to link up with his new teammates for the first time this week as he prepares to jet in for a two-week training session with the Blues.
Slonina put pen-to-paper at Stamford Bridge on August 2 after completing a $10million (£9million) move, potentially rising to $15m (£13.5m) with add-ons, from MLS club Chicago Fire, but will arrive in England on Wednesday for a couple of weeks before travelling back to the USA for a training camp ahead of the World Cup.
Ahead of his arrival, here is all you need to know about Slonina including who he is, his career so far and what’s been said about him.
