Chelsea new boy Andre Schurrle showed off his singing talent after being bullied by team-mate and Chelsea TV host Gigi Salmon.

Schurrle impressed on the pitch since joining the Blues this summer and showed the viewers his singer side when Marco van Ginkel bullied him to sing a few lines.

The German then sang a few lines from Usher's 'Burn' before being coaxed by Ginkel who happily mentioned Schurrle's decent singing voice, Metro.co.uk reports.

The report said that the midfielder will have had practice of performing for a crowd, with Chelsea's ritual of forcing new signings onto a chair to sing in front of the entire squad.

Schurrle said that he has a couple of weeks to practice and research a song to sing adding that he has something in mind but people will have to wait for it.
