Chelsea have completed the signing of Renato Veiga for a fee in the region of 14 million euros (€14 million).
Veiga, 20, joined the Blues from Swiss side, Basel on a seven year deal with option for another season.
“I’m absolutely buzzing to be here at Chelsea, this is one of the biggest clubs in England, the biggest for me.
“I’m really excited to get started,” he was quoted as saying by sports journalist, Fabrizio Romano.
He made 26 appearances for Basel across all competitions last season and scored two goals.
The versatile player (defender and midfielder) will be the sixth signing of the west London club in this summer transfer window after Tosin Adarabioyo joined on a free transfer, penning a four-year deal.
Other signings are Omari Kellyman, Marc Guiu, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Estevao Willian who will join the club next summer.
