Different colours depending on the angle you look at it from. I really like it." "Stamford Bridge has the history that it has, the legends it has created, I just want to be part of that." "The last year I was with Levi [Colwill]. I got a really good friendship now with him. The spell was at Brighton was really good for him, got him ready for what Chelsea has now."

The ceiling is the limit for him." "Mauricio Pochettino? Really excited. I've missed the opportunity to work with a coach of that level. Watch him on his past clubs what he's done. What he brings to the club, the family ambience around the players is really good. His play style I suit really well. I'm going to contribute good to win trophies at the club with him."
