LONDON - FERNANDO Torres became the third most expensive player in football history when he joined Chelsea for a reported 50 million pounds ($103m) from Liverpool on Monday.
Whoa! I'm the world's 3rd most expensive footballer!
Torres spent three years at Liverpool, scoring 81 goals, but grew frustrated as the 18-time league champions struggled to keep pace with England's leading clubs.
'I am very happy with my transfer to Chelsea and I am looking forward very much to helping my new teammates this season and for many years to come,' Torres said. 'Having played against Chelsea many times since coming to England, and in some very big games I will never forget, I know there are many great players here and I will work hard to win a place in the team. I hope I can score some important goals for the supporters to enjoy this season.'
Torres' first game for Chelsea could be against Liverpool in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, unless he features at Sunderland on Tuesday.ORIGINAL SOURCE
