Papy Djilobodji

Such a Wenger signing. Let's hope for the best.

What's most interesting about him is the fact that he's left-footed, which makes you think he hasn't been brought in to play alongside Terry.

But then again, he could be a pure back-up. If so, I'm not a fan of the transfer because every player brought in should be competing for a first XI spot imo.

Ridicules.

Why waste money on such a low standard option and we can't give time to some of our younger players?

Yeah yeah and Mourinho doing his stupid talk of youth.

I'm pissed, and if Mourinho does not sort this out by December I could care less what happens to him. A lot of this is his faults for his lack of use on youth!

You have a bigger chance of meeting Cinderella and living happily ever after. Give up on that reverie.

This is seriously a strange transfer ... not sure to be happy, sad, disappointed, confused ... all emotions into one just like his name ....

Signing of the season!

[cadenza666 221]

the nerve to say "delighted to announce"

[MefiX19 1,092]

He will be our legend! But for real now: I think he would pair realy well with Zouma, both strong, tall, fast, and Papy is can play relly well with ball (+They both are black )

He can play as Dm.

Quick and powerful, he was initially deployed as a defensive midfielder for Nantes, before moving back into his more favoured position of central defender.

This is where it all becomes interesting.

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Papy Djilobodji from Nantes.

The 26-year-old centre-back has signed a four-year contract.

Djilobodji said: 'I’m very happy to sign for a big club like Chelsea and I want to do my best to help the team win titles. I want to thank the club for giving me this opportunity.'

Djilobodji (full name Papiss Mison Djilobodji), a Senegal international, has become a key figure for Nantes since signing for the French club in 2009.

Having started his career playing for Senegalese side ASC Saloum, Djilobodji opted to make the move to Europe in October 2009 and signed for Senart-Moissy, who were in the French fourth division at the time.

An imposing physical presence, Djilobodji quickly caught the eye of teams higher up the leagues and moved to Ligue 2 side Nantes just two months later, at the age of 21.

Quick and powerful, he was initially deployed as a defensive midfielder for Nantes, before moving back into his more favoured position of central defender.

His impressive displays at the heart of the back four were a crucial factor in Nantes securing promotion to the French top flight in 2012/13.
Their first campaign back in Ligue 1 was an important one both for the player and club and Djilobodji produced a string of solid displays as Nantes preserved their top-flight status.

Last season he was once again a pivotal member of an ever-improving team at club level, while on the international stage he was named in the Senegal squad for the African Cup of Nations and started two of their three matches at the tournament.
