Chelsea completes the signing of Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell on five-year deal for a fee around £50m

Chelsea have completed the signing of England left-back Ben Chilwell from Leicester for a fee in the region of £50m on a five-year deal.

Chilwell becomes Chelsea’s third addition of the summer after the arrivals of winger Hakim Ziyech, from Ajax and striker Timo Werner, from RB Leipzig.

The Blues, having beat Leicester to a Champions League place on the final day of the 2019/20 Premier League season, have now succeeded in convincing them to part with one of their prized assets.

I am delighted to be joining Chelsea at this very exciting time for the club. I’m looking forward to being a part of this young, dynamic squad led by Frank Lampard as we challenge for honours next season,” Chilwell told the club’s website.

I can’t wait to get started and hopefully it won’t be long before we’re playing in front of the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are also reportedly close to completing deals to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz and former Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva, who is set to undergo a medical on Thursday, as they look to build on a fourth-placed Premier League finish and an appearance in the FA Cup final in Lampard’s first season in charge.

The Blues will also have to allow players to leave this summer, with left-back Emerson Palmieri vulnerable due to Chilwell’s imminent arrival. Inter Milan are reportedly interested in the Brazil-born Italy international.

Chelsea have also allowed Willian and Pedro to leave at the end of the season after both their contracts expired. Willian joined Arsenal while Roma announced the capture of Pedro a couple of days ago.
