Many were already in the knowledge that a deal was likely to be announced early in the window after the medical had been completed months prior.

There will be a nice headache for new manager Mauricio Pochettino in terms of which position he wants to play the France international in next season.

The player himself has recently claimed he finds striker his favourite position, however there may be a belief that the manager was looking to feature him behind the frontman.

Fans will now be hoping that he can make an immediate impression on the English game in a similar way to how Hazard did a decade ago.

He said: ‘”I like Eden Hazard for sure. I think, for me, he’s a legend of Chelsea.”

It looks like the former RB Leipzig man is going to be the start of a busy transfer window at Stamford Bridge, with both players coming in and out.

Reports have claimed that the Blues have reached an agreement to sign Nicolas Jackson to play up front. However, it is easy to believe that the club are not done in terms of signing attackers tis summer.
