Garnacho arrives at Chelsea ahead of transfer announcement

Alejandro Garnacho arrived at Chelsea ’s training center before the £40 million (US$54 million) transfer from Manchester United was made official, coach Enzo Maresca confirmed this Friday (29).

The agreement between the two Premier League clubs was reportedly finalized on Thursday, with the 21-year-old forward no longer in Rúben Amorim ’s plans at Old Trafford. Garnacho was at Cobham , southwest London, to undergo medical exams and settle the final details.

“I know he’s around here. I’m not exactly sure where,” Maresca told reporters. Asked how the United academy player would fit into his squad, he replied:

The Italian coach also did not rule out further arrivals and departures before the transfer window closes next Monday.

Maresca gave an update on the injured players:

Without Palmer, the coach emphasized the need to look for alternative solutions. Chelsea heads into the weekend in fourth place in the table, after a goalless draw against Crystal Palace and a 5-1 thrashing of West Ham.
