“It is a dream for me to join Chelsea and play in the Premier League,” Zappacosta told his new club’s official website.
“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.”
Zappacosta will join up with former Italy CT Antonio Conte, and technical director Michael Emenalo hinted that was a crucial factor in getting the deal done.
“Davide is a player of international calibre who Antonio Conte knows well and we have been aware of for some time.
“We are very pleased to be able to bring him to the club and believe he will become an important member of the squad.”
