Chelsea have completed the signing of Spain goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Sanchez, who joined the Blues from another Premier League club, Brighton & Hove Albion penned a seven-year contract.
The 25-year-old made 87 Premier League appearances for Brighton.
Last season, Sanchez helped Brighton reach the FA Cup semi-finals; he kept clean sheets in the quarters and the semi itself, although the latter ended in a penalty shootout defeat to Manchester United. It proved to be his 91st and final outing for the Seagulls.
Co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart said: ‘We’re very pleased to welcome Robert to Chelsea and he adds further quality to our goalkeeping unit. READ ALSO:
