Chelsea complete signing of striker from Barcelona in bargain deal

By Sean Walsh

Chelsea have announced the signing of striker Marc Guiu from Barcelona.

The Blues triggered the £5m release clause in Guiu's Barca contract last week and he has now finalised his move to Stamford Bridge.

A club statement read: "Chelsea is pleased to announce the signing of striker Marc Guiu from FC Barcelona.

"The Spaniard has agreed a five-year deal with the Blues, which includes a further one-year option, and will join up with his new teammates for pre-season."

Guiu told Chelsea's club channels: "It's an immense joy to sign for Chelsea and I struggled to sleep ahead of the journey here because I was so excited. Ever since I was small, it was my dream to play in the Premier League.

"Now I have the opportunity to come here to Chelsea and I will work my hardest to be successful for the club."

Guiu becomes Chelsea's third signing of the summer, following on from the acquisitions of £19m Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa and Tosin Adarabioyo, who has joined on a free transfer from Fulham.

Chelsea will soon announce their fourth summer incoming, with Leicester City's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall close to finalising a move to Stamford Bridge.
