Chelsea centre-back Gary Cahill claims that every player at the club is acutely aware of his role under manager Antonio Conte.

The 30-year-old added that Conte's winning mentality and organisation has managed to enhance the fitness levels of the players at the West London club as they look to bounce back in 2016/17.

"He's added spirit, he's added organisation and a lot of discipline," Cahill told the club's official website.

"Players know exactly what their role should be at each individual time they're on the pitch. He's added fitness, against West Ham I felt really sharp and really fit, it's one of the toughest pre-seasons I've done.

"t's not enjoyable when you're doing it but you reap the rewards and I felt really strong in the game.

"He wants to win. You can see how animated he is on the side of the pitch and he's like that when we're working. He wants to win, just like the rest of us."
