Ben Chilwell was coveted by Chelsea throughout last season, and specifically by Frank Lampard to be his first choice left-back.

This summer Chelsea were offered several players for that position but the Blues decided to put all the eggs in the Chilwell basket and

eventually signed him, despite the 23-year-old carrying an injury.



Chilwell joined all the other summer signings in talking up Lampard’s crucial role in his switch from Leicester for West London.

In a press conference chilwell said

“I spoke to the manager and straight away got that feeling that you want to play for him and you want to win for him.

He won a lot of silverware here and I think it’s important to play for a manager that loves the club I’m joining and

knows what it takes to win trophies here.

“That has been a big reason why a lot of the players have joined.

His man-management seems top, even the boys who aren’t playing will say that as well, and tactically he’s very good.

He just seems like a really good guy who you want to do well for and that was the main reason I wanted to come.”
