Watford attacker Domingos Quina: Why I walked out of Chelsea

Watford attacker Domingos Quina has lifted the lid on his decision to leave Chelsea back in 2016.

Quina chose to quit for West Ham before heading to Watford last summer.

"I was 16 when Chelsea offered me a pro deal," Quina said. "But I was seeing older players who I thought were really good – like Nate [Chalobah], Jeremie Boga and Charly Musonda – not playing in the first team so I decided maybe it was better to go somewhere else where I'd have more chance of playing.

"It was brave but I will always back myself and if something comes to mind I just do it and see what happens. That's when I decided to go to West Ham."
