“I say goodbye as a Champion of England, a Champion of Europe and proud captain of my national team.
“To play in the Premier League, the best league in the world, is every professional’s ambition. But to play for Chelsea, to become part of the Chelsea family, to work with some of the best managers and players in the world, has truly been an honour.”
