“I am looking forward to meeting up with my new team-mates and I’m very proud to officially become a Chelsea player.”
The club’s technical director Michael Emenalo said:
“We are pleased to be able to bring in a player of proven quality who adds to our defensive options.
“Antonio is still young but is experienced at club and international level and possesses all the requisite attributes to thrive in the Premier League. We have been aware of him for some time and we are confident he will fit in well with the squad.”
The Blues, as has become tradition, used a welcome video which this time featured a young fan deciding what name to get on the back of his shirt.
Rudiger is the second signing of the summer for Chelsea, following the arrival of new back-up goalkeeper Willy Caballero.
