He said: "He's been massive for us, not only on the pitch but off it as well.

"He's a great personality, he's a leader who always tries to help the other attacking players, always tries to give them tips.

"I was with him when he was here in his first spell and he's completely different.

"That experience, that maturity - it's normal because he has seen and experienced different, things abroad and we know what he's able to do.

"So we are happy to have him back, he loves being here at Chelsea and hopefully it can be a very successful time for everybody."
