After 9 fantastic years and 128 games for Chelsea Football Club I have now officially left the club to join Spartak Moscow on a permanent transfer.

I’ve loved every moment playing for Chelsea and leave with memories that I will cherish forever, including winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League.

I’ve always appreciated the love and support shown to me during my time at Stamford Bridge and would like to take this opportunity to thank everybody connected with the club, with a special mention to the incredible Chelsea fans who have always been brilliant with me.

I would like to wish the club every success in the future. Thank you for everything.
I’ll always have blue in my heart �
