Chelsea have completed the signing of Argentina Under-20 striker Franco di Santo from Chilean side Audax Italiano.

Di Santo, 18, agreed terms last month on a £3.4 million deal, which has now been sealed. He said recently that he is looking forward to playing with some of the world's best players at Stamford Bridge.

"I cannot wait to play alongside people like Frank Lampard and Nicolas Anelka," he told Ole.

"It will be strange for me to see them in real life: I've only ever seen them on television.

"Didier Drogba is a player from another planet but I'm going to have to get used to being around such great players and hopefully I can force my way into the team.

"I love the style of English football and it was my dream to come here. I like how the game is played, how quickly everything happens.

"It is simple and very complicated at the same time. This is what makes it attractive."

Di Santo, who stands at 6'4", is determined to make it in England, citing the success of Carlos Tevez since his move from Corinthians to West Ham and now Manchester United.

"[Tevez] is a teacher. It will be an honour to play against him and I would love to change shirts with him.

"I really want to impress. I don't want to let anybody down because there are a lot of people back in Argentina waiting for me to make them proud."

Chelsea are fighting for trophies on four fronts. They have a FA Cup clash against Wigan at the weekend, will face Tottenham in the final of the League Cup and are still in the Champions League and title race.
