Chelsea have completed the signing of Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

The Spain international moves to Chelsea for a mooted fee of £40m. Sanchez has signed a seven-year contract.

Chelsea co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart said: "We're very pleased to welcome Robert to Chelsea and he adds further quality to our goalkeeping unit.

"Robert has repeatedly proved himself in the Premier League and been capped by his country. We are excited to watch him work with Mauricio and his coaching team during the season ahead."

Sanchez is expected to join Chelsea's squad on Monday, with the players given the weekend off after returning for their US preseason tour.
