Benoit Badiashile has expressed his delight at signing a seven-and-a-half year contract at Chelsea and believes the way Graham Potter likes to play football suits him perfectly.
The 21-year-old was confirmed as the Blues' second January signing earlier in the week after signing for around £34million from AS Monaco. Despite interest from other clubs in the Premier League such as Wolves and Southampton, Badiashile had his heart set on Chelsea as soon as he was made aware of the Blues' interest, football.london has been told.
The French defender, standing at 6ft 4ins, is absolutely delighted that the move is now official, as he explains below. Badiashile also spoke about the honour of playing at a club where so many world-class players have been in the past.
