He has recently signed a massive new contract at Stamford Bridge – but Whether he actually stays at Chelsea for a decade remains to be seen – but the player has now come out and claimed why a move to Chelsea happened on a permanent basis,  speaking to GQ, he said: “I wasn’t even gonna go [to] Chelsea.
