He playes left back for Athletic Bilbao A powerful attacking left back who is strong in the air.The 24-year-old came up through the youth ranks at Athletic Bilbao and has caught the eye for his fine performances for the Basque side when they have played against Real Madrid, scoring five goals against them in the last four seasons. He made his debut for Spain last September in a friendly against Scotland and has gone on to win six caps and score two goals, including the winner against England in November.

What did i tell you It's official Chelsea add Del Horno to ranks. Chelsea completed their first signing of the summer when Asier del Horno, the highly rated Spanish international left back, joined from Athletic Bilbao for £8m. The widely anticipated purchase means that Jose has already strengthened one of the three positions he identified at the end of the season along with centre midfield and attack. Jose has already had a bid rejected for Lyon's centre midfielder Michael Essien and could yet attempt to lure the Brazilian forward Adriano from Internazionale. Del Horno, 24, will put pressure on the England international Wayne Bridge who missed much of last season with a broken ankle. Jose said: "Asier is an outstanding international player who will add quality to the squad in a position we needed to strengthen." The arrival of Del Horno will also mean that William Gallas is left to compete for his favoured centre back position along with John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Robert Huth. Del Horno will officially sign on 1 July and will make his debut against Milan in a friendly in Boston on 24 July. www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=286757&title=Chelsea+signs+Asier+del+Horno&nav=news
