'This is the reason I came to Chelsea' - Chilwell claims £50m transfer has been justified

Ben Chilwell believes his decision to swap life at Leicester for that at Chelsea has been justified, with the England international pointing to a place in the semi-finals of the Champions League as support for that claim.

The 24-year-old left-back completed a £50 million ($70m) switch to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2020.

He was a regular under Frank Lampard, before having to fight for his place under Thomas Tuchel, but has enjoyed his time in west London and helped the Blues to put themselves in contention for European glory alongside an FA Cup final berth and a top-four standing in the Premier League.
