CHELSEA star Marc Cucurella is expecting his third child with fashion designer girlfriend Claudia Rodriguez.

The 24-year-old recently signed for Chelsea for £62million and life is busy for the defender with a baby on the way.

Both parents posted the snap of them holding the photo from the scan - Cucurella captioned it: "Baby number 3 on the way."

Meanwhile, Rodriguez admitted she knows the gender of the baby but chose not to make it public.

Footballers such as Rafa Mir, Joan Jordan and Jurgen Locadia all commented on the Instagram upload congratulating them.

The new addition to the family will have older brothers in Mateo and Rio.

Cucurella has been with Rodriguez since 2018 meeting when he was playing for Barcelona's youth team.

Their romance quickly blossomed and she followed him to Madrid where played for Getafe and then Brighton before moving to London as he joined Chelsea.

His family regularly cheer him on from the stands - Rodriguez and the couple's two children joined Cucurella on the pitch after the last game of the season at the Amex Stadium.

The happy family posed for photos with Mateo and Rio wearing Seagulls shirts with 'Papi' - meaning 'Daddy' - on the back.
