Noni Madueke convinced Chelsea undergoing a cultural change

Noni Madueke feels Chelsea are undergoing a cultural shift.

The January signing from PSV Eindhoven says there's now a long-term project the players are working towards.

"Chelsea definitely feels like home," Madueke told chelseafc.com.

"The boys are great and we've got a really good harmony in the dressing room because we believe we'll turn it around next season. It's been a great few months of learning for me with some successes too, on an individual note.

"Everyone here has huge aspirations, individually and collectively, but I feel like the process we're in right now is just about getting a little bit better every day, getting better every game, and growing closer. It's for the future – we are trying to build the foundations now for a successful club and team.

"The project here was something I was very aware of and was something I thought was good,' he adds of the long-term vision.

"Chelsea has never really been a project club, just a winning club, but nowadays you can't just win without a plan.

"Gone are the days when the big clubs just used to dominate all the time. It's different, you need to strategise, and I feel like that's what the owners and the staff and the technical staff are doing. So we as players just need to buy in and I'm sure sooner rather than later we'll be very successful."
