Robert Sanchez was delighted after his first day of training with Chelsea.

The former Brighton goalkeeper trained at Cobham today.

Sanchez told chelseafc.com: "It's one of my favourite stadiums. Obviously Stamford Bridge has the history and the legend that it has created. I just want to be part of that,' said Sanchez, before discussing his first time training at Cobham.

"It's an amazing training ground. I've never been to this part before, but I had been to the Academy side once; in my first year at Brighton, when I was in the Under-18s, I played against Chelsea. I think it was my only time here, but it was 10 years ago so obviously it's changed a lot.

"But my impression is that it is an amazing training ground, great facilities and nothing less than you would expect for a club of this size."

He also said: "I started my career here in England really. Brighton provided me with everything I needed as a goalkeeper, inside and outside the pitch, to get the maximum potential out of me. I'm really happy and thankful for that, now it's another bigger challenge and I'm ready for it.

"I think choosing Chelsea is the best choice I could have picked because the opportunities that have been presented in front of me is amazing, to develop more as a goalkeeper, to keep learning and compete for the spot and show everyone how good I can be to the club for the next years to come.

"I'm really excited about working with the manager, it's an amazing opportunity to work with a coach of his level. I watched him at his first clubs, what he's done. I think what he brings to the club, the family atmosphere around the players is really good and his playing style is something I think I suit really well and I'm going to contribute good to win trophies for the club with him."
