Chelsea complete Bertrand Traore signing

Burkina Faso attacking midfielder Bertrand Traore completes his move to Chelsea on a four-and-a-half-year deal.

Burkina Faso attacking midfielder Bertrand Traore has completed his move to Chelsea.

The 18-year-old, who spent the summer on trial at Stamford Bridge, agreed to join the London club on a four-and-a-half-year contract in October, but the deal could not be completed until the transfer window reopened.

Traore is now officially a Chelsea player and he says that he is excited to have the opportunity to play alongside some of his footballing idols.

He told Chelsea's official website: "My favourite players are Juan Mata, Mesut Ozil 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."

Traore has been capped 11 times at senior international level.
