Nantes have confirmed their Senegal international centre-half Papy Djilobodji has joined Chelsea for around £2.7m, with the defender signing a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Djilobodji, who had been tracked by the champions’ recruitment department over the last two years, had undergone a medical on Monday and will offer cover at centre-half for John Terry, Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma. The Senegalese had entered the final 12 months of his deal at Nantes and, having made clear his desire to depart this summer, had been training with the development squad at the French club over recent weeks.
The 26-year-old, who had moved to France in January 2009 and played 171 times for Nantes, can also play in defensive midfield.
