New Chelsea recruit Jose Bosingwa has realised a "dream" by moving to the Premier League and has told the club's fans he is coming to Stamford Bridge "to win titles".
The Blues wasted no time diving into the transfer market by securing the Porto right-back's signature for a €20.5 million fee only a day after missing out on the Premier League title to Manchester United.
United were also chasing Bosingwa but the 25-year-old has opted to join Chelsea on a three-year deal and will link up with his new team-mates after playing for Portugal in this summer's European Championships.
He told Chelsea TV: "I have friends who are at Chelsea and it's a club I feel I can improve at and grow as a player.
"I've always had a dream to play in England - I always watched the Premier League as a child, I love the English game and now I'm here, I'm going to work to do my best.
"I played for a big team in Porto and now I'm going to play for a bigger team in Chelsea. My aim is to win titles."
