Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker is delighted with his move to Trabzonspor.

Baker has signed on a season-long loan and was immediately thrown into action by coach Eddie Newton, making his debut in the 0-0 draw with Denizlispor on Saturday.

"I am very happy to have the opportunity to come here. We have a young, enthusiastic and ambitious team. We will do our best and continue our success by building on last year. In my first game, I saw that we are a team open to many possibilities, I believe in this.

"I know about the many avid fans in Turkey and saw it.

"I am a player who will give 100% of my performance in each match and I believe that our team will be successful in this way."
