Chelsea have signed Spanish left back Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano. The defender joins the Blues from the Spanish club.
A left back for the Blues
Chavarria plays on the left side of the defense. He's Spanish and arrives at Chelsea after a spell with Rayo Vallecano. The move gives the club another option at left back, a position that asks a player to defend and push forward in equal measure.
What the move means
The signing adds depth to Chelsea's squad. Chavarria will compete for minutes on the left side of the back line alongside the other defenders at the club. For Rayo Vallecano, his departure means losing a left back from their squad.
Chavarria now links up with his new club as Chelsea prepare for the season ahead. He'll be part of the group as the team gets to work.
