Who is Pep Chavarria and why do Chelsea want the Spanish left-back?

Pep Chavarria is certainly not your typical Chelsea signing. He did not make his debut in Spain’s top flight until he was 24 years old. His European bow came aged 27 in October in the UEFA Conference League against Swedish side Hacken. He was sent off.

Chelsea have embarked on yet another summer of wheeling and dealing, as they have made yet another deal, this time to replace outgoing left-back Marc Cucurella.
