Crystal Palace have completed the signing of defender Marc Guehi from Chelsea on a five-year-deal, as per Sky Sports.
The England Under-21 international was almost ever-present on loan at Swansea City last season, making 45 appearances in all competitions [Transfermarkt].
He has now formalised a move to Selhurst Park to join the Eagles in a transfer believed to be worth around £20m, according to Goal.com.
Within the agreement, his former employers are said to have included sell-on incentives should he depart Selhurst Park for pastures new in the coming years. Furthermore, Chelsea also have also included the option to match any future bids which come in for the 21-year-old [Sky Sports].
After the deal was confirmed by the club, loads of Palace fans took to Twitter to express their delight at the news of the “quality signing”.
