| Papy Djilobodji has joined Chelsea |
NANTES have announced an agreement has been reached with Chelsea for defender Papy Djilobodji.
The 6ft 4in Senegal defender has signed a four-year-deal with the Premier League champions and will provide competition for John Terry, Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma.
The 26-year-old becomes the second player to leave Nantes for the Premier League this summer after Jordan Veretout joined Aston Villa.
Djilobodji arrives at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea's three bids for John Stones were rejected by Everton.
Another target Aymen Abdennour then joined Valencia from Monaco while an enquiry for Roma defender Kostas Manolas was knocked back.
Chelsea have struggled defensively so far this season after having the best defence last campaign.
John Terry and Thibaut Courtois have both been sent off while the team has conceded nine goals in their first four matches.
