Chelsea have signed winger Kevin De Bruyne from Racing Genk, the Belgian club have announced.
The 20-year-old completed a medical in London on Monday before signing a five-and-a-half-year deal with the Blues.
The Belgian club have just announced the deal on their official website, stating that the transfer was completed 30 minutes after the midnight.
De Bruyne will remain at Genk until the end of the season and will join his new teammates for pre-season training in June.
Chelsea have been tracking the promising midfielder for a while now and they see him as one for the future.
Boss Andre Villas-Boas recently revealed that the club had identified the Belgian as a target before he arrived to the club, and that is probably one of the reasons why De Bruyne was allowed to stay at Genk until the summer.
The highly rated winger amassed the total of 84 league appearances for the Belgian giants, and scored 14 goals in the process.
