Incoming Chelsea signing admits he is excited about Blues move

Aaron Anselmino has admitted that he is very excited after being told that he is coming to CHELSEA this month, and has admitted that he is very happy for this new opportunity.

Anselmino was being touted as a potential superstar after his maiden season as a senior professional at Boca Juniors.

Anselmino certainly wasn’t expecting the call, admitting that he hadn’t seen it coming when he spoke to ESPN in the airport.

“(I’m) happy for this new opportunity. It is something dreamed of for anyone. I am very excited.”
