We have a deal! And it’s Chelsea who have secured the signing of Matt Miazga from New York Red Bulls.

The American central defender has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract.

“I am delighted to be in the Premier League, the best league in the world, and can’t wait to meet my team-mates and get going.
