Chelsea have announced their third summer signing in left-back Ben Chilwell on a five-year contract from Leicester City.
The 23-year-old has signed a contract with Chelsea which ties him to the club until 2025.
Speaking in his first interview with the club, he said already knew a lot of Chelsea players and talked to them at England national team.
“I spoke to them about how it was like here [at Chelsea], how the manager was like and they all had good things to say about it,” he told Chelsea’s official website.
“They made it a lot easier as well coming into a new club having a lot of friendly faces I’ve known before and a lot of talented players as well.”
The England international missed Leicester’s last few games for the 2019/20 season after suffering a heel injury, but he said he has already returned to light exercises.
“I’m feeling really good,” he added.
“The injury is healing really well and I’ve been doing a lot of fitness work over the past four or five weeks.”
The fullback made 30 appearances in all competitions for Leicester City in 2019/20, bagging three goals and three assists.
