WHAT HAPPENED? The 20-year-old has joined the Blues in a deal worth £30.5 million, having signed a seven-and-a-half-year contract which includes an option for the club to extend for a further 12 months. PSV coach Ruud van Nistelrooy had all but confirmed that the English winger, who joined the Eindhoven team from Tottenham in 2018, would be making the switch to the Premier League on Friday, saying: "We lose a good player because of his departure. There was no turning back and there was a solid financial compensation."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Madueke is Chelsea's sixth signing of the January transfer window, following the arrival of Joao Felix on loan as well as the permanent transfers of David Datro Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar, Monaco's Benoit Badiashile and Andrey Santos from Brazilian team Vasco da Gama.
