The 25-year old has agreed a four-year contract to move to Stamford Bridge for a reported £23m, plus add-ons, where he will link up again with Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte - who selected the defender for Italy in 2016. He landed in the UK on Thursday evening to complete his move as the clock on Deadline Day ticked down. Zappacosta, who has made four international appearances for his country, joined Torino from Atalanta in 2015, where he has since featured in 58 Serie A games.
