Pochettino hails Chelsea’s latest signing

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has applauded the club’s latest signing Romeo Lavia.

This comes as the Blues on Friday announced the signing of Lavia from Southampton after they defeated Liverpool in the race for the football star.

While addressing the press conference ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League tie with West Ham United, Pochettino described Lavia as the perfect player for his project at Stamford Bridge.

Pochettino said: “We all know Romeo and his quality, his profile. I think he is a perfect player for this project. We are excited, and we are so happy to add him to the squad.”

He added: “The club worked really hard on these signings. We have to congratulate the owners and the sporting directors, Laurence [Stewart] and Paul [Winstanley], because the job was amazing. To add these types of players like Moises and Romeo, and all the previous signings, is fantastic for the club.”
