Zhirkov takes Blues medical
Yuri Zhirkov has confirmed that he has undergone a medical ahead of his move to Chelsea.
The Blues confirmed on Monday that they had reached an agreement for the £18m-rated CSKA Moscow wing-back.
And the 25-year-old left-sided Russia international has now been examined by the club's doctors prior to sealing his move.
"The medical examination took around three hours," he told Sport Express.
"First I passed a general examination and then the doctors put me into a special chamber to study my body in greater depth.
"I haven't been at Chelsea's stadium and training base yet, but I will do that on Tuesday.
"I will also be introduced to the coaching staff and players as I'm going to have my first training session with the team.
"I'm in a perfect mood right now as I like the way people have welcomed me into the club.
"Although I haven't spent much time here, I have already seen that they have a friendly attitude towards me. I am looking forward to starting my career at Chelsea."
