'Firstly
I would like to thank everyone at FC Barcelona where I enjoyed three
wonderful years. It was my childhood club and I will always be proud and
honoured that I had a chance to play for such a great team.
'I
do feel that I have unfinished business in the Premier League and now
is the right time for me to return. Yes, everyone knows that Arsenal had
the first option to sign me. They decided not to take this option and
therefore it wasn't meant to be. I wish them well in the future.
'I considered all the other offers very carefully and I firmly believe that Chelsea is the best choice.
'They
match my footballing ambitions with their hunger and desire to win
trophies. They have an amazing squad of players and an incredible
manager. I am fully committed to this team and I can't wait to start
playing.
'It
was extremely important to me that this transfer was completed before
the World Cup so that my mind will only be focused on hopefully helping
my country try to retain the trophy.'
