Marcus Bettinelli says he's loved his time with Chelsea.

The veteran goalkeeper is strictly third-choice, but is also regarded as a locker room leade.

He told Chelsea's matchday programme: "I've loved it here so far.

"When I first joined, the realisation of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world hit me when I walked in the building.

"I still feel like that now – we've obviously gone through a really difficult transition period, I think we're still finding our way, on and off the pitch, but I think we're close. We've shown glimpses this season of how well we can do on the pitch, so it's an exciting time.

"I've loved every minute of my time here – being involved in finals and Club World Cups, playing with some of the best players in the world. It's all I've ever dreamed of. I joined in the role of third choice knowing that I wasn't going to play that much, and I thought I might miss it, but because I get to play in training every day, I don't miss it as much as I thought I would do. I've absolutely loved it, and I hope that continues."
