Chelsea defender Malang Sarr wants to do everything to get the club back to the top in the Premier League.

The Blues are coming off a terrific second half of last season that saw them win the Champions League and reach the FA Cup final under Thomas Tuchel.

Young centre-back Sarr, who joined on a free transfer from Nice last summer, spent the past campaign at FC Porto.

Now the 22-year-old is back in London and wants to do everything to help the team in the 2021-2022 season.

Sarr told Chelsea's official website: "It's a pleasure to be here, starting to work, we are working very hard and very well so I'm happy. I have enjoyed being here.

"I have spoken a little bit with the manager, he knows I speak French so we have been talking. I have a good feeling here; everybody is very good with me. I can feel everybody is ambitious here.

"They want to work and they really want us to give the best every day, and that's a good thing because that's how I see things. I really want to work hard every day and try to improve in every aspect."

He then added: "I hope to join the team and help the team to the top.

"They finished the season as Kings of Europe. I'm here to help and to let the team stay at the highest level, trying to bring all the good energy and my work to the team.

"I know the club is ambitious and I am ambitious as well, so it's a perfect match."
