I became a stronger character at Chelsea – Zappacosta

Roma's loan signing says that his experience in England has made him a better person

Italy international right-back Davide Zappacosta believes that his two-year spell with Chelsea has benefitted him on and off the pitch.

The 27-year-old completed a return to Serie A on Wednesday with a loan move to Roma and the deal is initially for six months with the option to extend until the end of the season.

The former Torino and Atalanta defender says that he enjoyed the challenge of adapting to life abroad since joining Chelsea in 2017.
