Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has said that he cannot wait to get started in Serie A as he looks to seal a two-year loan move to AC Milan.

The Spaniard's future has been the subject of much speculation, with Chelsea at one point appearing keen to retain the player's services for this season, but Torres now looks certain to move out on loan as he undergoes a medical in Italy.

"I'm really happy to have arrived in Milan," he told reporters.

"I can't wait to do the medical, meet the fans and my new team-mates. I cannot wait to start this new adventure. I spoke to the coach [Filippo Inzaghi] yesterday and I am really pleased to work with a coach like him.

"He was a great goalscorer and definitely understands what the role of a striker is. I am sure that he can teach me and help me a lot in this adventure."

The move would potentially see Torres play out the remaining two years of his Chelsea contract in Milan.
