Chelsea have completed a deal to sign Italy international Davide Zappacosta from Torino, the club have confirmed.
Right wing-back Zappacosta, 25, will give the Blues added depth to their defence with Cesar Azpilicueta set to continue his career at centre-back.
Manager Antonio Conte knows the player well having giving him internationals caps for Italy and this should help his integration at Stamford Bridge.
Zappacosta said: ‘It is a dream for me to join Chelsea and play in the Premier League. I am very excited to be here and start working with the team.
