Arsenal target confirms secret transfer talks with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho
CHELSEA new boy Marco Amelia has opened up on his move to Stamford Bridge.
Marco Amelia admits he made contact with Chelsea following Thibaut Courtois injury
The 33-year-old, who was a target for Arsenal in the summer, joined the Premier League champions on a free transfer earlier this month.
The former AC Milan stopper contacted Chelsea following injury to first-choice Thibaut Courtois, and was invited to undergo a trial by Jose Mourinho.
"And he (Mourinho) called me and said, 'Marco, come here and train with us and then we will decide about you'.
"Then the club called to give me a contract so now I am staying here and I am very happy."
