"I'm delighted to be a Chelsea player and can't wait to get started. It has been a long journey to get here but I am very happy and am looking forward to helping the club win more trophies," Drinkwater told Chelsea's website.
Chelsea's other signing, Zappacosta can play at wing-back or full-back and has been capped by Italy. He has signed a four-year deal with Chelsea, according to the club's website.
Zappacosta said: "It is a dream for me to join Chelsea and play in the Premier League. I am very excited to be here and start working with the team. I hope I can show my quality to the coach, my team-mates and the supporters."

With the addition of Zappacosta, Conte can have two strong options alongside Victor Moses for the right wing-back position.
