Chelsea complete Del Horno switch 
 
Chelsea have completed the signing of Spain left-back Asier del Horno for £8m from Athletic Bilbao.
 
The 24-year-old defender has agreed a three-year deal and will officially become a Blues player on 1 July.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said Del Horno would be a big asset in the club's pursuit of major honours.

"Asier is an outstanding international player who will add quality to the squad in a position we needed to strengthen," said Mourinho.

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon told the club's website: "Jose identified his target to fill the left-back position and we're delighted Asier has chosen to come to Chelsea.

"The arrival of Asier signifies Chelsea's desire to strengthen the squad in key positions following a hugely successful season and we all look forward to seeing Asier in the blue of Chelsea in July."
