Chelsea defender Clarke-Salter: I'm learning plenty with Vitesse

Chelsea defender Jake Clarke-Salter is happy with his loan move to Vitesse.

But the youngster admits he sees his future with Chelsea.

"Many young English players are currently abroad. Regular playing time is important to us. Many games can offer so many possibilities. Mason (Mount) is an example of this. He did not play much at Vitesse in the first few months, but suddenly he broke the competition," said Clarke-Salter.

Clarke-Salter still has the ambition to succeed at Chelsea. In 2016 he made his debut for the Blues.

"I came in for Pedro, a World Cup winner, that was surreal. I looked around and saw players like Cesc Fàbregas and Alexandre Pato Players with whom I usually played on the PlayStation when I was young. It was a crazy feeling, a dream come true."
