The France international was pictured heading in alongside agent Pini Zahavi as he smiled for the cameras.

It comes after he spoke earlier this week about his move to the Premier League giants.

On his transfer, he told the club website: "I am incredibly happy to be joining Chelsea.

"A big effort was made to bring me to the club and I am looking forward to meeting my new coach and team-mates and showing the Chelsea supporters what I can do on the pitch.

"Having played in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, I now want to play in the Premier League, one of the strongest leagues in the world.
