New Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has revealed the club have signed Yuri Zhirkov from CSKA Moscow.
Speaking at his first press conference, the Italian said: "Zhirkov, (Daniel) Sturridge - these are Chelsea players."
The winger will follow striker Daniel Sturridge into Stamford Bridge as the Blues build for next season's campaign.
As for Zhirkov's role, Ancelotti added: "Zhirkov is naturally on the left.
"I think he can do all the work and can play in defence and in between."
However, the former AC Milan boss refused to confirm Deco and Ricardo Carvalho would be leaving west London despite the pair being heavily linked with Inter Milan.
He said: "Carvalho and Deco are chelsea players.
"If in the future a player wants to go they have to speak with the club and we take the right decision for the player and for us."
