BLUE BOY ... Fernando Torres poses with his Chelsea shirt after completing his £50m move from Liverpool
CHELSEA have signed Fernando Torres for a British record fee of £50m from Liverpool.
The Spanish striker has signed a deal with the Blues until the summer of 2016 worth a whopping £8m a year.
The cash-only transfer was given the go-ahead by Kop boss Kenny Dalglish after the Reds reached agreement with Newcastle striker Andy Carroll over a £35m move.
Torres passed a medical at Chelsea's Cobham training HQ tonight and will be unveiled later this week.
Blues owner Roman Abramovich hopes Spanish hitman Torres can help deliver the Champions League triumph he craves.
Liverpool reluctantly let Torres go after he put in a transfer request on Friday.
The deal exceeds the £32.5m Manchester City forked out to sign Robinho from Real Madrid in August 2008.
