Tiemoue, welcome to Chelsea! Why did you decide to join?

Thank you! I am very happy to be here. For me this is the biggest English club, and I hope to achieve great things here. I am very proud.

Chelsea is a great club with a great history, and they are the champions of England. My wish was to be at the best English club there is today.

I am very happy and proud for me, my family and the people who have been following me for a very long time. Now the work starts for all of us together to progress.

What have you made of Cobham?

I have got a great reception and I’m very much impressed by the facilities here. Everything is much bigger than I have known, and it seems like the perfect place to play football.

I haven’t been to Stamford Bridge yet but I can’t wait to see this big stadium.

We saw you had a chat with Antonio Conte. What did he say?

We spoke a lot about tactics, and training, and he took the time to talk to me about my game and explain I must be serious-minded and work hard.
