Chelsea Football Club have completed the signing of Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell for a reported fee of £50,000,000.The club took to their official Twitter account to confirm the news just after 5pm this afternoon, as one of football's biggest secrets was finally let out the bag.Chilwell has been strongly linked with a move to London all summer, so it's come as no surprise after The Blues announced the news today, with the defender putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.He's set to be followed in the door by fellow defender Thiago Silva, who is also set to join the club this week following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.Both defenders could also be joined by Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kai Havertz, who is also close to joining the club if reports are to be believed.These additions will further solidify an impressive transfer window for Frank Lampard's side after they managed to secure Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech earlier this year.On making the move to Stamford Bridge, Chilwell said: "I am delighted to be joining Chelsea at this very exciting time for the club.

"I’m looking forward to being a part of this young, dynamic squad led by Frank Lampard as we challenge for honours next season.

"I can’t wait to get started and hopefully it won’t be long before we’re playing in front of the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge."

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia, meanwhile, added: "We are very pleased to have completed our third addition to our exciting squad for the coming season. Ben brings plenty of top-level experience playing in the Premier League, Champions League and at international level, despite his young age.

"We are confident Ben will adapt very quickly to being a Chelsea player and with the fixture programme for 2020/21 especially busy, he is a fantastic addition to the squad needed to challenge for honours."
