Aston Villa signing Jores Okore is happy he turned down Chelsea.

The Danish defender, 20, had the option to link up with Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge but opted to leave Nordsjaelland to pen a four-year deal at Villa Park instead.

He said: "I have a good feeling it was the right decision to turn down Chelsea.

"I feel that I have arrived at a club that believes in me.

"The manager has said all the right things and that has caught my attention. This is going to be good."
