Noni says this of his signing: “... So definitely excited to come up against everyone and try and help the boys out as much as I can.”
Chelsea manager Graham Potter is upbeat about having Noni in his squad.
Potter says: "Noni is a young player, an exciting player, left footed wide player that can give us balance and completion in that area so he is looking forward to starting his Chelsea career and we are happy to have him, I think the supporters will really enjoy him".

Potter’s been signing midfielders recently in the hopes of filling the void left by Ngolo Kante's injury.
Chelsea fans are hoping that Noni is the missing link that will help bring them to their former glory.
The Blues' next Premier League match is against Fulham next Saturday and Chelsea fans are hoping he will make his debut for the London club.
Noni will work well with Mudryk, who made his Chelsea debut against Liverpool on Saturday, which ended in a goalless draw.
