Chelsea midfielder Van Ginkel stands by choosing AC Milan over Ajax, PSV

Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel has no regrets not returning to Eredivisie in the summer.

Van Ginkel ignored offers from Ajax and PSV Eindhoven to sign on-loan with AC Milan.

"I deliberately said, I played three years in the Netherlands and I done most things there," he said.

"It suited me better to go abroad. Mentally I'm more mature than when I left at Vitesse. Since I've been with Chelsea, I've experienced everything.

"Recovering after such a long injury has also made me physically stronger. People sometimes forget that. I'm just back in top shape."
