Chelsea Complete Signing Of Burkina Faso Starlet Bertrand Traore by yoged(m): 12:22pm On Jan 01, 2014 |
Chelsea have formally completed the signing of Burkina Faso midfielder Bertrand Traore. The 18-year-old agreed to join the Blues in October 2013 from Association Jeunes Espoirs De Bobo-Dioulasso in his home country and has now put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half year deal. Traore is a full international having made his debut in September 2011 a few days before his 16th birthday, and he made one substitute appearance at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. The youngster impressed on trial during Chelsea's pre-season tour of Asia in the summer and played a part in all three games, scoring in Malaysia and in Indonesia. "I was very happy [with how the trial went]. It was a good experience with all the senior players and I learned a lot from them," he said. "I was very proud, so it was a dream for me to be there every day and playing games. Of course I was a little bit nervous but after two or three days I was okay. "Jose Mourinho spoke a lot during training and he is one of the best managers, maybe the best in the world. He is a very good person and it is a dream for me to work with him. I can now say I am living a dream. "My favourite players are Juan Mata, Mesut Özil and Eden Hazard. They're very good players and I am trying to be like them. At Chelsea I look to follow the way of some African legends like Didier Drogba, Michael Essien and now Samuel Eto'o." m.chelseafc.com/news-display/TRAORE-MOVE-COMPLETED/3597985
