Chelsea sign Man Utd winger Garnacho

Argentinian 21-year-old moves to west London after 93 league appearances and 16 goals at Old Trafford

Chelsea have announced the signing of winger Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United.

The 21-year-old Argentinian winger made 93 Premier League appearances for Man Utd and scored 16 times, including a bicycle kick at Everton that won the 2024 FIFA Puskas Award.

“It’s an incredible moment for my family and I to join this great club,” Garnacho told Chelsea’s official website after he was spotted at Stamford Bridge for this afternoon's 2-0 win over Fulham.

“I can’t wait to get started. I watched the Club World Cup and to join the world champions is special – we’re the best team in the world! It’s amazing to be here and I’m very happy.”

Garnacho is among a raft of attacking signings made by Chelsea this summer window.

He joins after Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Willian Estevao all moved to Stamford Bridge.
