How much Chelsea will pay for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria after double Deadline Day swoop

The fees Chelsea will pay for Denis Zakaria and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been revealed after they completed their transfers on Deadline Day.

Zakaria’s loan switch was confirmed in the early hours of Friday morning, a couple of hours after deadline after Chelsea submitted a Premier League deal sheet in order to get the deal over the line.

The 25-year-old has been signed to help ease the midfield concerns after Thomas Tuchel’s side sustained injuries to N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic already this season, while Conor Gallagher missed the defeat to Southampton due to suspension. 

Zakaria underwent his medical in Turin on Thursday and will now fly to London to join up with his new teammates this week. 

But how much will Chelsea pay for the Swiss international?

It has been reported by Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea will pay an initial €3 million loan fee plus €1 million add-ons. 

Should they wish to buy Zakaria on a permanent basis at the end of the season, it will set them back €28 million plus €5 million in add-ons. 

Zakaria expressed his delight at joining, telling the official Chelsea website: “I want to say hi to all the Chelsea fans. I’m very happy and proud to be a Blue and I cannot wait to see you soon at Stamford Bridge.”

Meanwhile, Aubameyang has signed a two-year contract with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, joining from Barcelona after only leaving Arsenal in January. 

Barcelona confirmed the price paid in their leaving statement, revealing Chelsea will pay €12 million for the Gabon international.

“I’m really happy,” said Aubameyang. “It’s an honour to be part of this team and I can’t wait to start. I have some unfinished business with the Premier League so it’s good to be back and really exciting.”

He added: "We will achieve some big things, I am sure about this. I will try my best to help the team."

Todd Boehly has backed Thomas Tuchel in the transfer market, now it's on the head coach to get the squad gelling in order for them to climb up the table and compete for honours this season.

Both Deadline Day signings pleased the co-owner and Chairman. On Aubameyang, he said: "Pierre-Emerick is an elite striker with a proven track record in the Premier League and his arrival strengthens our squad, giving us new attacking options.

"We are thrilled to have Pierre-Emerick on board with us in the new era at Chelsea and we’re really looking forward to working with him."

Zakaria, who was Chelsea's last signing of the window, was also given a positive assessment by Boehly: "Denis is a talented midfielder with lots of quality and skill. He will add depth and range to our squad this season, and we are looking forward to watching him play in Chelsea blue."
