Chelsea have completed the signing of Serbian starlet Nemanja Matic from MFK Kosice for a fee of €1.75m ( £1.5m). Matic, one of the stars of the recently concluded UEFA U-21 European Championship, has put pen to paper a four year deal at Stamford Bridge.
The central midfielder believes that he has a lot to offer to Chelsea. Matic told the official Chelsea website ( chelseafc.com), “I am a solid midfield player, I have a lot to offer and for sure to progress. I will show everyone why I am at Chelsea.”
Matic is primarily a left footed player. He was on trial at Middlesbrough in the winter, and had also attracted attention from Tottenham Hotspur.
The 6’4 Matic, who has been capped by Serbia at national level, joins compatriot Branislav Ivanovic at the London club.
Matic’s side, Kosice, play AS Roma in the playoff rounds of the Europa League on Thursday.
