2016-17 Barclays Premier League - Chelsea Signs Fiorentina's former Bolton left-back Marcos Alonso ona 5-year deal Wednesday Aug 31,2016

Chelsea completed their surprise swoop for Fiorentina's former Bolton left-back Marcos Alonso for a reported £23 million ($30 million, 27 million euros) on Wednesday Aug 31,2016



Marcos Alonso agreed a 5-year contract with the Premier League club as Chelsea manager Antonio Conte turned to the Spaniard after missing out on several other defensive targets.

The 25-year-old is Conte's fourth signing since taking charge at Stamford Bridge, following the arrivals of France midfielder N'Golo Kante, Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi and Portuguese goalkeeper Eduardo.

"I'm very happy. It's a step up in my career and I think this is the perfect place for me to continue developing," Alonso told Chelsea's website.

"It's time for me to win some titles. It was an easy decision for me to make when I heard the club were interested in signing me.

"My family and close friends know Chelsea is the club I have dreamt about playing for so I'm really excited about the challenge and I'm looking forward to working with my new team-mates."
