DARK SECRETS: Todd boehly and behdad eghbali first words on benoit badiashile transfer amid 44m chelsea spree | Rare Historical Photos

Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have welcomed Benoit Badiashile to Chelsea after the club signed the defender from AS Monaco in a deal worth £33.6million. The 21-year-old is the Blues' second signing of the January transfer window after David Datro Fofana joined from Molde for £10million.

Badiashile has signed a seven-and-a-half year deal at Stamford Bridge after completing his medical earlier this week in London. The France international's arrival comes as Graham Potter looks to bolster his backline amid a number of injuries.

Chelsea are currently without defenders Wesley Fofana, Reece James and Ben Chilwell. The Blues' latest signing is expected to join the first-team squad and compete for a starting spot.
