Premier League champions Chelsea have signed Germany defender Antonio Rudiger from Roma on a five-year contract for an initial fee of £29m.
Rudiger, 24, completed the transfer one week after helping world champions Germany win the Confederations Cup.
“It’s a great feeling because not every player has the opportunity to join a huge club like this,” said Rudiger.
The fee for Chelsea’s first major signing of the summer could rise to £33.3m with add-on clauses.
