Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel has signed for AC Milan.
Van Ginkel has completed a season-long loan deal to AC Milan, following in the footsteps on Fernando Torres.
Dutch midfielder Van Ginkel spent the majority of his first campaign at Stamford Bridge recovering from a cruciate ligament injury with Jose Mourinho eager for him to gain first-team experience.
The deal solves Chelsea's conundrum of having too many foreign players to comply with Premier League and Champions League squad regulations.
Van Ginkel said: "I am very happy. Milan is a great club where many Dutch players have played and some big names.
"I know Nigel De Jong from my experiences with the National team, I spoke to him about Milan and he said excellent things about the club. I will see him soon. I am a midfielder that defends but I also know how to score goals.
"I play all across the park. I want to become an important member of the squad, I am a team player and I want to meet the coach. Like I said before, I am happy to be here. I want to get game time and I think that I will have the chance to play at Milan in a great league against strong sides.
"This is the objective for the season. I haven't as yet spoken to coach Inzaghi but I have spoken to Fernando Torres this week. He's a good lad."
