Chelsea have announced the capture of another player of Nigerian descent, Chukwunonso Madueke from PSV.
This is as the Blues played out a draw against Liverpool in an English Premier League cracker on Saturday at Anfield.
The 20-year-old, who can also play as an attacking midfielder, has signed a seven-and-a-half year contract with Chelsea.
According to an information on Chelsea’s website, in the contract, Madueke is said to have an option to extend the deal by a further year.
Expressing his delight after moving to Stamford Bridge, Madueke said: “To return to England and play in the Premier League is a dream for me and my family and I can’t wait to get started.
“I am excited for what the future holds, the owner’s vision for the future and to be at a club like this and winning at the highest level.”
Madueke spent time at Crystal Palace and Tottenham as an academy player before signing for PSV in 2018.
He made 80 senior appearances for PSV, scoring 20 goals and providing 14 assists.
The match Chelsea against the Reds marked the 1000th game Klopp has witnessed in his management career.
