Yuri Zhirkov signs!

News tonight on the Chelsea Website is that Yuri Zhirkov has signed a three year contract at Chelsea.

He told the Chelsea Website :

"Any footballer would be happy to sign a contract with Chelsea, and at any time. I have been received very well here, and have been shown the base at Cobham training ground. Everything is Super!.

Of course its good when some players speak Russian. Even today Petr Cech translated some bits and pieces and I understand some words in English. Now I hope to learn English too!"

So he is our third signing of the summer and will provide stiff competition for places under the new manager!
