Chelsea Bring In Aaron Anselmino From Boca Juniors

Anselmino has signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge but will remain at Boca Juniors on loan for the 2024/2025 season.

The 19-year-old defender only made his Boca Juniors debut in June 2023 and has so far accumulated 10 senior appearances.

Anselmino is Chelsea's eighth summer signing, joining the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Estevao Willian, Renato Veiga, goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen and Marc Guiu.

A club statement read: Chelsea is pleased to announce the signing of defender Aaron Anselmino, who will spend the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Boca Juniors.

"Welcome to Chelsea and good luck on loan, Aaron!"

As Anselmino prepares to start his Chelsea career, Conor Gallagher's look set to end after Atletico Madrid agreed a £33m fee with the Blues for the England international midfielder.
