Chelsea’s new defender Davide Zappacosta has landed at his dream club to go with his dream girl
CHELSEA snapped up relatively unknown Davide Zappacosta for £23million on deadline day when their attempts to land Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fell flat.
But the Italian showed his support for the club earlier this year when he retweeted Chelsea’s picture after they became Premier League Champions, possibly hinting to his hopes of joining the side.

It could have also simply been a nod to the man that gave him his first taste of senior international football.
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte named the defender to his provisional 30-man squad for Euro-2016.
He was one of the three reserve players that typically heads home after the opening match, but Conte requested he stay to absorb his first experience as a senior international. Since then, the Italian has gone on to win four caps for his country.
The Italian men will now reunite in London when the 25-year-old ex-Torino man will get his first sample of the Premier League.
Watching him at Stamford Bridge will be his girlfriend, Morena Urzini.

The pair met during his time playing for Avellino, the 23-year-old’s native city where she still works in an electronics shop, and are used to having a distance relationship after his return to Atalanta then Torino.
Although so far their distance hasn’t had to stretch to another country.
