Kavacic first words as a Chelsea player



  Mateo Kovačić has now also been confirmed as a Chelsea player for at least the next season, and while the mystery of his buy-option is only just starting to build, for now, what’s important is that he’s here and, in theory at least, gives Chelsea arguably the best midfield trio in England. Kovačić and Kanté flanking the metronome that is Jorginho sounds like a winning combination, though others in the squad might have something to say about that.

 Soon after his arrival last night, Kovačić also gave a brief first interview to Chelsea TV (again, exclusive to the official app, The 5th Stand — free on iOS and Android), in English, wherein he reflected on a busy summer and an exciting move to London.
“I am really happy, excited to be here at Chelsea. It’s an amazing feeling. [...] I will try to do my best.”
“I hope I will come straight to the team, to show my best, and that for me now is the most important thing. [...] It will be nice to play here of course but there is a coach who needs to decide and I need to give my best to prove myself.”
Kovačić is of course looking forward to playing with Kanté and Jorginho, but he’s also looking forward to the challenge of the Premier League. When asked about the relative ease with which Real can win trophies when compared to Chelsea, he gives a perfect answer.
“For sure [with Real it’s easier] but I think this team is winning a lot in the last years so I am coming to a team that is winning all the time. I am happy to be at Chelsea. Great club, amazing city and like I said before, I will give my best for the team and say a huge thank you to Chelsea for giving me this opportunity.”
One of Mateo’s teammates both at Real and at the national team is a certain Luke Modrić, who used to live in London as well and once came close to making the move to Stamford Bridge. As it turns out, Luka gave some good advice to his younger friend just now.
“I am speaking to Luka always. He is of course happy for me, sad that I am leaving because we are very close there, but London is an amazing city. [...] He said the Premier League will be tough in the beginning but it is a nice league, amazing football, the stadiums are full and I will enjoy it.”

Barcelona Hijack Malcolm Deal From Roma

Barcelona reached a deal to sign Bordeaux's Malcolm for £36.5m, few hours after Roma announced they had agreed a deal for the same player. Malcolm had a very successful year last season in Ligue 1 after his move from Corinthians. The Brazilian winger was expected to join Seria A side Roma after the club had announced a deal had been agreed. However, Barcelona has other plans in mind, swooping in with a better offer before he had boarded a plane for Italy. This deal was set to be Roma's biggest of the summer and complete an attacking trio after the arrival of Javier Pastore and Justin Kluivert. The player's agent, Fernando Garcia, told Real Sport that it was the decision of the French club and not the player that resulted in the late switch: "We had an agreement with Rome, then Bordeaux blocked us." Roma Sporting director Monchi released a frustrated statement in the aftermath. What happened with Malcolm is easy to explain, but difficult to understand as we...
