Chelsea completed the signing of Noni Madueke from PSV Eindhoven on Friday to continue a remarkable spending spree.
Todd Boehly’s consortium have now spent well over £400 million ($494 million) in new players during their first season in charge of the club.
England Under-21 winger Madueke has signed a seven-and-a-half-year contract at Stamford Bridge after completing a deal worth a reported £35 million.
“I’m really pleased to sign with one of the best clubs in the world in Chelsea,” said Madueke, who was previously a youth prospect at Crystal Palace and Tottenham.
“To return to England and play in the Premier League is a dream for me and my family and I can’t wait to get started.
“I am excited for what the future holds, the owner’s vision for the future and to be at a club like this and winning at the highest level.”
Madueke scored 20 times in 80 appearances for PSV since joining the Dutch giants in 2018.
But the 20-year-old faces stiff competition to get regular first team football with the Blues.
