On the last day of the transfer window, the "Chelsea" club acquired their second player - "Reading" defender Michael Hector, with whom they signed a 5-year contract.
However, the 23-year-old footballer will spend the rest of the season on loan at "Reading" club.
Overall, this is already the tenth purchase of the London club this summer.
M. Hector became a key player for "Reading" last year, playing 49 matches in all competitions. His arrival follows the unexpected acquisition of another defender, Papy Djilobodji, from the "Nantes" club after it became clear that "Chelsea" would not be able to acquire John Stones.
