Todd Boehly, Chelsea owner, has spoken about his club's most recent signing: "Carney is one of the most exciting young players in Europe so we are really looking forward to seeing him in action at Stamford Bridge".

Everyone in and around the club has the same feeling about their newest signing. That he is going to help the team significantly, not just next season, but also in the years that follow.
