Chelsea is a huge club, and this is a full-circle moment for me, I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there. I am very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go”.

What did Chelsea board say about Tosin?

"We are delighted to bring Tosin to Chelsea. Throughout his career, he has showcased his maturity and defensive qualities and has gained a wealth of experience in the Premier League in recent seasons. He is ready to make the step up to Chelsea and work alongside the talented players in our squad. We look forward to Tosin joining up with us for pre-season.’'

Why did Chelsea sign Tosin?

Chelsea suffered a lot last season in the defence, having conceded one of the highest numbers of goals in a single season across all competitions. Tosin was also brought in to bring stability to the team and also fill in the gap that was left by Thiago Silva.

Chelsea supporters will hope that Tosin will help the team at both ends of the pitch from the defence to the attack.
