Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic says he's happy playing for manager Maurizio Sarri.

Kovacic was brought in on-loan from Real Madrid last summer by Sarri and the midfielder praised his footballing mind.

He told Chelsea TV: "When players are used to playing other football and then to come here and change everything, it's difficult.

"But he has his football in his mind and that's a great personality. He just wants to play his football and that's what we're trying to do and trying to win a trophy.

"Because in the end the most important thing is to win trophies but the players know it. The players are used to winning trophies and I'm sure we will have a great year this season."
