Chelsea have completed the signing of Marc Cucurella from Brighton as Thomas Tuchel’s spending spree continues this summer.

The Spanish defender, according to the goal.com, was a much sought-after player in the summer transfer window as Manchester City and Barcelona were also interested in landing him.

After joining Brighton in the summer of 2021 from Spanish side Getafe for a reported fee of £15.4 million, he is again on the move.

He had a fantastic season with the Seagulls which saw him win the Players’ Player of the Season and being voted Player of the Season.
