Chelsea signing Fofana: I used to watch Azpi at the Velodrome

Chelsea signing Wesley Fofana admits he's excited to be playing with Cesar Azpilicueta.

Fofana made the move from Leicester City yesterday.

He revealed, "It's crazy for me because when I was younger I watched these guys on TV in the Champions League and the Premier League.

"I used to go to the stadium and watch Azpi in Marseille so it's a dream for me now to play with him and with all the other guys.

"I've played as them on PlayStation and now I'm training with them so it's unbelievable really."

On his ambitions of becoming the world's best defender, Fofana is convinced joining Chelsea can help him achieve his goal.

"For me, I want to be a big player, the best, and that's normal because I play for the best.

"I'm sure this club will help me do that because it's one of the biggest clubs and winning trophies is in the DNA here. Now I just want to be a part of that.'"
