To the Blue Army:

The time has come for me to bid Chelsea FC farewell. For the longest time, Chelsea has been my home. I spent the best part of my childhood, teenage years, and early manhood wearing a Chelsea shirt. My best memories will always be playing in front of you all at The Bridge. I will embark on this new pathway, but before I do, I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey and everyone who has supported me so far.
