The 22-year-old defender attracted plenty of interest in the summer of 2020, but a switch to Stamford Bridge still came as a shock
Malang Sarr admits he is still "surprised" to be a Chelsea player, having been snapped up by the Blues as a free agent in 2020, but the 22-year-old is determined to make his mark with the Premier League heavyweights.
Interest in the promising defender built steadily last summer, with clubs from across Europe said to be shooting admiring glances in his direction.
Chelsea eventually swooped in to get a deal over the line, before sanctioning a loan switch to Porto, and the highly-rated Frenchman concedes that a move to Stamford Bridge came out of the blue.
