Papy Djilobodji is Chelsea’s latest acquisition, following his deadline-day move to the Premier League champions from Nantes. Djilobodji had been linked to Celta Vigo, Crystal Palace and QPR before he was snatched by Mourinho. The 26-year-old was signed for a fee suspected to be about £2.7m.
However, he wasn’t included in their 25-man squad for the UEFA Champions League group stages and has instead been included in their Premier League side.
The Senegalese player signed a four-year contract with the Blues and has taken the No. 15 shirt. But the lack of playing time so far means that Papy has had a lot of time to relax.
It’s the Senegalese national team who have been keeping the centre-back busy. He has been capped 13 times.
