🚨🇵🇹 Those familiar with Geovany Quenda's mindset say he is excited to work with Xabi Alonso and plans to cut his summer break short to report for pre-season training a few days early. His initial aims are modest: to absorb the ideas of his new manager, to learn from his team-mates and commit himself fully to making a positive impression.

Michael Essien on his time at Chelsea:
🗣 "I had a good time with the club. I won a lot of trophies and so I can’t ask for much to be honest. I had a good relationship with the owners, management, staff and fans, and that’s what matters the most for me."
