Chilwell has revealed he was told ‘to die for the Chelsea badge’ by this Blues icon
Ben Chilwell has revealed Chelsea legend Ashley Cole told him to ‘die for the badge’ after making the move to Stamford Bridge.
After almost helping Leicester get back inside the Champions League spots last season, we decided to make the summer move to bring Chilwell to Stamford Bridge in a deal that will cost the club £54 million.
Frank Lampard knew that he needed to improve that left-back area, and considering Chilwell is one of the best in the Premier League, it was a no-brainer that a move for the England International was the right move to make.
Chilwell said on the club website: “Seeing the career that he had here, obviously I wanted to emulate that, and still do. To have someone like that who has played for Chelsea, who’s English, it was important for me.
“I spoke to my agent because I was quite keen on getting to meet him.
“I just wanted to get to know him and pick his brains on what he thought of Chelsea as a club, how he reached the success that he reached here.
“I was quite keen to have that chat to find out things like that. Obviously I’m going to work as hard as I can over the next however many years to try and emulate what he’s done here.”
Chilwell has not hit the ground running just yet for this side, but the man is one of the best as we said and will be a real force for the club in the coming season, if they can get the very best out of him.
If he gives his all for the club, fans will love him, if he doesnt and we can se that he is not, well!
