Chelsea confirm signing of Marc Cucurella; Levi Colwill joins Brighton on loan

Published on: 05 August 2022

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of defender Marc Cucurella from Brighton on a permanent deal, with Levi Colwill moving in the opposite direction on a one-year loan.

After Manchester City declined to meet Brighton's price tag of over £50m, Chelsea swooped in to get a deal done for the versatile 24-year-old, who is a left-back by trade but also impressed in a left centre-back role for Brighton last season.

"I’m really happy," Cucurella said after signing a six-year contract. "It’s a big opportunity for me to join one of the best clubs in the world and I’m going to work hard to be happy here and help the team."

Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly added: "Marc is an elite defender of proven Premier League quality and he further strengthens our squad going into the new season. We continue to work on and off the pitch, and we’re delighted Marc will be a part of the present and future at Chelsea."
