Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell admits he left Leicester City for Champions League football.

The lure of Champions League football was a particularly strong one for Chilwell, who had a taste of the big European stage in 2016/17 when Leicester were narrowly beaten in the quarter-finals by Atletico Madrid.

"The Champions League is a massive reason I wanted to come here," Chilwell told the club's website. "Everyone wants to play in the Champions League – when I go away to England and talk to the boys they just say how much they love it.

"I had a taste of it a few years ago and really enjoyed playing, especially against Atletico in the quarter-finals. It's the highest stage of club football to really challenge yourself and at Chelsea, with the great squad we've got, hopefully we can do really well this season."
