Chelsea have announced the signing of Romeo Lavia from Southampton – just days after acquiring Moises Caicedo from Brighton.

Liverpool had been keen to sign the Southampton star, but the Blues were able to hijack the deal. Lavia has now penned a seven-year deal with Mauricio Pochettino’s side to the tune of £58million.

After making the move official, Lavia said: “I’m really happy join Chelsea and be a part of this exciting project. It’s an amazing football club with a great history and I’m really excited to get started. I can’t wait to meet all my new team-mates and build a chemistry together to achieve great things together.

 

 

While Chelsea’s co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley said: “We are very pleased to welcome Romeo to Chelsea.

“He demonstrated his quality in the Premier League last season at Southampton, showing maturity despite his young age, and is a player we have monitored for some time.

“We believe he is ready to make an impact at Chelsea throughout the current campaign, and in the coming years.”
