Alonso was already in the Barcelona to undergo a medical before signing a three-year contract that was agreed upon back in April, while Aubameyang left for London at 5 p.m. on Thursday for his medicals and contract signing as well.

After losing 2-1 to Southampton on Tuesday, the Blues have just seven points from five games this season. They are in desperate need of some sort of motivation from the new signing.
The Blues also confirmed signing Swiss international – Denis Zakaria, who joined the Premier League side on loan from Juventus for the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign.
The 25-year-old midfielder is powerful and vibrant, energetic in the challenge, and an excellent passer of the ball.

Zakaria gained recognition in the Bundesliga, featuring mostly for Borussia Monchengladbach, where he was most frequently used in a defensive midfield position but can also play further forward or in the center of defense,
“I want to say hi to all the Chelsea fans. Iβm very happy and proud to be a Blue and I cannot wait to see you soon at Stamford Bridge.” – he said
