Jose Mourinho praises new signing Pedro: "I'm happy with his attitude and ambition"

New Chelsea signing Pedro Rodríguez hasn't even made his debut yet, and he's already earning praise from his coach.

Jose Mourinho spoke at a press conference and he talked about the former Barcelona attacker, who left the club after almost a decade and 20 titles to join the London side. The Chelsea manager spoke highly of his new signing, complimenting the Spanish international for his desire to leave one of the biggest teams in the world in order to pursue new career adventures.

Here's a few of his quotes:

"We got one of the best attacking players in the world, a player with lots of experience and with something that I really like very, very much, which is the desire to leave a giant club, one of the best clubs in the world, a club that normally – when you are there – you don't want to leave.
