Torres excited working with AC Milan coach Inzaghi

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is looking forward to working with AC Milan boss Pippo Inzaghi.

Torres has joined Milan on a two-year loan.

"It is a big responsibility to be here, but also an honour. I hope to settle in straight away in Italian football, but above all can't wait to train with someone like Inzaghi who knows full well what centre-forwards feel.

"I hope to learn a lot from him and become useful to the team."

Torres had an overall disappointing time at Chelsea after his £50m transfer from Liverpool in January 2011.

"I am happy with this new chapter in my career. I am happy to have arrived in Italian football and happy with the welcome of the fans.

"Now I just want to repay this affection with goals. I hope to help the team return to the Champions League, which is where Milan belong.

"I spoke to Inzaghi and some teammates. I don't want to look at the past now, but to the present and that is Milan.

"If I play well here, I can also return to the Spain team."
