New Chelsea signings this season 2026/27
All Chelsea Signings: Summer Transfer Window 2026
Morgan Rogers (23, from Aston Villa) – £117m
The British transfer record signing. A powerful, versatile No.10 who can drive through midfield lines and improve the starting XI immediately. Signed a six-year deal with an option for a further year. Will wear the No.17 shirt.
Marco Palestra (21, from Atalanta) – ~£47-48.5m
The Serie A Defender of the Year for 2025/26. A right-back who was Chelsea’s first signing of the summer, arriving on a contract until 2033. Will wear the No.2 shirt.
Maxence Lacroix (from Crystal Palace) – £52m
A commanding centre-back brought in to strengthen the heart of the defence. Signed a six-year deal.
Denner (18, from Corinthians) – ~£8.5m
An exciting long-term prospect at left-back. The cousin of Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhães, he agreed to join Chelsea back in January 2025 and finally arrives on a seven-year deal.
Valentin Barco (22, from Strasbourg) – Undisclosed
The versatile Argentine international was Chelsea’s ninth signing of the window. Initially a left-back, he was successfully converted into a central midfielder at Strasbourg and is expected to continue in that role. Signed a contract until 2033.
Geovany Quenda (19, from Sporting CP) – ~£40-42.5m
The Portuguese wonderkid winger who helped Sporting win a league and cup double last season. Signed an eight-year deal. His move was first agreed back in March 2025.
Emmanuel Emegha (22, from Strasbourg) – Undisclosed
The Dutch striker arrived from Chelsea’s sister club, having scored 14 Ligue 1 goals last season. Was named Strasbourg’s captain for the previous campaign. Signed a seven-year contract.
Danny Welbeck (35, from Brighton) – ~£5m
A surprise but significant signing. The experienced former England international had his most productive Premier League season yet with 13 goals. Signed a two-year contract and was Chelsea’s eighth summer arrival. Notably, this is the first time in four years Chelsea have paid a fee for a player over 26.
Dastan Satpayev (17, from Kairat Almaty) – ~£2m
The Kazakh wonderkid dubbed “the next Sergio Agüero”. Already has 54 goals in Kazakhstan — including a Champions League goal. Will officially join once he turns 18 in August 2026.
