Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill admits he's enjoyed his England partnership with Chelsea skipper John Terry.
Cahill has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
He said: "I've had to bide my time over the last year, so it's nice to see the young players getting their chance. I think at the minute there is a nice freshness about the side, with new players coming in and players that are desperate to impress.
"My partnership with John Terry seemed to fit in nicely. The communication was good.
"When you get an early shout behind you - and JT and Joe Hart are big talkers - it really helps.
"And obviously JT plays left side for his club and I play on the right side.
"I think that slides in nicely and I really enjoyed it."
