Chelsea FC have finally confirmed the signing of Dutch U-21 international Marco Van Ginkel. The youngster has signed a 5-year deal with Chelsea and will become Jose Mourinho’s second signing since the completion of a deal to bring ANdre Schurrle to the Bridge.
Here are a few excerpts from his first interview with Chelsea’s official website.
His first impressions: “I’m very happy to be here at such a nice club with great players. I am really happy, the stadium is good and the training ground is fantastic.
I know about all the players and will meet them on Monday. I expect a lot, I’ve watched matches and it’s really nice to be here.”
Playing style: “I am a box-to-box player. I cover a lot of metres and can score a goal, but I also like to defend and think of myself as a real team player.”
Personal targets: “I want to learn a lot, to develop myself. I want to play games and not only sit on the bench, that’s what I hope for, to play in games at these great stadiums and hopefully be important for the team, whether it is from the bench or from the start.
I think I can play games and I think the Premier League is higher than the Dutch league, so you can learn more physically and technically, and develop. That’s why I am here.”
