Completes Chelsea move Cucurella has completed a move to Chelsea in a record move from Brighton. The defender signed a six-year deal with the Blues. Impact It's been a strange month for Cucurella, who was originally in talks to join Man City and then his price was too high, so Chelsea was next on the list. He eventually was barred from team training before this move on the day the season starts. It's quite the move for a player who has just one Premier League season under his belt, as he'll likely be used as more of a center-back than full-back, as Ben Chilwell has the left wing locked down. That said, Cucurella can also play on the wing and would take the backup role of Marcos Alonso, who is set to move away.
