Fernando Torres spoke of his excitement as he begins a new chapter in his career after arriving in Milan to finalise his move from Chelsea.

Chelsea and AC Milan announced a two year loan deal Friday evening. Torres expressed how excited he was to begin working with his new club and coach Filippo Inzaghi after a disappointing three years at Stamford Bridge, in which he only managed to score 20 goals in 110 Premier League appearances.

After being in Milan for a few hours, Torres spoke to Milan Channel. He mainly focused on how he will integrate with his new club, but also dedicated time to talking about his jersey number.

“I’m happy to have arrived at Milan, I can not wait to meet the fans and teammates and begin this adventure,” he said.

“I have already spoken with Inzaghi, I’m glad to work with him, he knows what is what in the work of an attacker, will help me a lot in this adventure.”

Torres revealed that he nearly became a Rossonero before moving to Liverpool from Atletico Madrid.

“I was close to joining Milan when I was playing at Atletico. A long time has since passed. It’s not easy to play at AC Milan, but it will be an honor. I want to help the team and do my best to have a great season.

“When you play in Milan there are high expectations, everyone wants to get back in the Champions League. It will be a great challenge to get third place and go back to Champions League for the 2015-2016 season.”

Milan had a dismal 2013-2014 Serie A season, finishing eighth, 45 points behind champions Juventus, and as a result will not take part in any European competitions this season.

“Albertini is a great friend,” continued the player,”he always spoke well of Milan: there is a family atmosphere.

“The No. 9? Sure, I’d love to wear it, and it would be a privilege to play at the level we all expect from me.

“What do you say to the fans? Thanks to the fans that are giving me the welcomes on social networks and on my website, they are happy and so am I.

“I will give 110 percent, this experience will be fantastic for many years, I hope.”
