Chelsea summer signing Ben Chilwell says he spoke at length with manager Frank Lampard before committing to the club.

Chilwell arrives from Leicester City and made his debut for the team in a 6-0 Carabao Cup win over Barnsley.

The Englishman was impressive, and will be hoping to become the Blues' no.1 left back for years to come.

"It is a fresh challenge. I am out of my comfort zone which is something I think that will improve me," the 23-year-old said in the club's match-day programme.

"It's a great team, a great club and I am looking forward to working hard here.

"I remember chatting to the gaffer at Leicester and he was really good about the whole situation. He said this would be good for my career and that if I come here and work hard, I can push on because the type of football here suits me.

"He said I could go onto be the best or one of the best in the world in my position. That's what I want to do now I am here. I want to win stuff and improve myself.

"Personally, I want to become one of the best in the world in my position, and it feels like, with this team, that we can win a lot over the next few years as well. When I come to the end of my career, I want to have won everything that there is to win, and I think that at this club we can do that."
