Chelsea midfielder Van Ginkel satisfied with AC Milan choice

Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel is happy with his move to AC Milan.

Van Ginkel has joined Milan on a season-long loan.

"This gives me confidence going forward, but right now I am concentrated on Milan," Van Ginkel told Voetbal International.

"The conversations were promising. They never let go and carried on calling all the time. This certainly gave me a good feeling about this move.

"Milan's interest was important for me. It is a club that has won so much and had so many great players.

"It's true last season was disappointing and Milan aren't in the Champions League, but they remain one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"I am convinced this is a great opportunity for me. Being a midfielder, I think I am suited to Italian football.

"Milan play with one defensive midfielder, plus two who attack and track back. My objective is to get one of those two positions. It's a great role to play."
