Crystal Palace midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek admits Eddie Newton is his key link to parent club Chelsea.
Former Blues midfielder Newton is the club's loan manager.
Loftus-Cheek revealed: "I have a good relationship with Eddie Newton, he is helping me behind the scenes.
"There's no bitterness I have got the chance at Chelsea. They are a massive club and I understand opportunities don't come to everyone or often.
"For me, I never would want to rewind the time because I learned a lot about myself mentally, and I think I have got mentally stronger.
"That period of two years was my journey but now I've got the chance to play."
