Tosin welcomes Henderson and Welbeck to Chelsea squad

Chelsea has strengthened its squad with the signings of Jordan Henderson and Danny Welbeck. Both players have committed to two-year contracts with the club.

Henderson, aged 36, arrives following his tenure as Liverpool captain, while 35-year-old Welbeck joins after his time at Brighton. Their arrival changes the age profile of the Chelsea dressing room. Last season, 28-year-old Tosin held the distinction of being the oldest outfield player in a squad characterized by its youth.

Tosin noted that the new arrivals will provide significant experience and a winning mentality to the team. He suggested that the veterans will be important in mentoring the younger members of the squad by sharing the knowledge they have gathered throughout their long careers. He believes their presence will help the club maintain a winning culture.

Regarding the shift in the squad's age dynamic, Tosin spoke light-heartedly about the change. He mentioned that it is a positive development to no longer be the oldest player in the group. He referred to the new signings as "uncs," noting that while they are older, they are still young in life.

Despite previous speculation regarding a potential summer transfer away from the club, Tosin remains a part of the current plans. He has featured in all three of Chelsea's pre-season fixtures under the management of Xabi Alonso, indicating his continued role in the team's setup.
