The Brazil international's transfer was confirmed this morning, and he has joined us in the United States as we continue our preparations for Friday's Club World Cup quarter-final tie against Palmeiras.

He will be training with his new team-mates at our base in Miami today and appreciates the expectation – and the reality – that come with representing a club with our history.

He says: 'I grew up watching the Premier League, and Chelsea were a club that won trophies. So, when you join Chelsea, you can only think one thing: to win trophies.

'Every competition, you have to think, "I play for Chelsea and that is my ambition".

In his first interview – which can be viewed above – the 23-year-old also details his relationship with David Luiz, who won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League and Europa League across two spells at Stamford Bridge.

'I'm close a little bit to David Luiz. I spoke to him, not about Chelsea, but about my career and how I could develop better. He helped me.'

You can watch our new forward's first interview in full by signing in above – and there will be more to come from the Brazil international across the Official Chelsea website and the Chelsea Official App.
