Posted by The club’s first acquisition of the January transfer window has arrived, according to Chelsea Chairman Todd Boehly.
After completing a €38 million transfer from Monaco to Chelsea, Badiashile is anticipated to compete for a spot in the club right away.
When Fofana is fully fit again, the 21-year-old and the Blues’ center back might develop a lasting connection.
Behdad Eghbali, co-controlling owner of Chelsea, confirmed the Frenchman’s entrance and praised him as a great athlete.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Benoit to Chelsea,” he said.
He’s a great young player who, despite his youth, has a ton of experience and has swiftly built a solid reputation for himself.
“We are confident that he will play a significant role in our team in the years to come.”
He will compete with players like Thiago Silva, Wesley Fofana, Chalobah, and Kalidou Koulibaly for a spot in Chelsea’s center-back.
