Swansea loanee Humphreys: Chelsea wanted me to stay

Chelsea youngster Bashir Humphreys enjoyed a good game last weekend.

The defender has been spending the season at Championship side Swansea.

Humphreys put in an assured display for his team against Sunderland, a game that saw them go down to ten men at one stage.

Despite the need for a rearguard action, Humphreys and his teammates held out for a draw.

Asked recently about why he moved on loan, Humphreys stated, "I had a pretty long conversation with Mauricio Pochettino who told me, 'look, we're going to do what's best for you, not what's best for us'.

Chelsea wanted me to stay, but I wanted to go somewhere where I can play, get better and improve."
