Chelsea have boosted their midfield with the signing of Everton’s Ross Barkley for 15 million pounds.
The 24-year-old has agreed a deal that will return for five and half years, and he will wear the number eight shirt.
“I’m overwhelmed, I’m looking forward to it and I’m really excited to get started,” Barkley told the Chelsea website.
“To be given a fresh start at a new club like Chelsea, it’s unbelievable for me. I’m looking forward to continuing where I left off at the end of the last season and hoping to improve and add more goals to my game.”
The England international has been out injured since August and his contract with Everton was due to run out in the summer.
