Watford signing Nathaniel Chalobah has shrugged off comparisons with Chelsea ace Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Blues boss Antonio Conte opted to jettison Chalobah after the arrival of Bakayoko at Stamford Bridge, citing the former Monaco man's superior experience as the reason.

"I wouldn't want to compare myself with him," he said. “Fair play to Bakayoko who he has brought in, he must be a good player – I am not doubting that.

“The experience thing is biggest part of any decision really for managers these days. If he has that experience then fair play. Here is my chance to come and get experience."
