Ben chilwell on wo to be Chelsea captain...
"I would love to be captain. I'm sure you've had that answer off a few of the players," he told BBC Sport.

"I was captain of the youth team at Leicester and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it brings the best out in me and my game, having a little bit more pressure and trying to help people around me. I think it's one of my strengths.

"I don't think you need an armband to be a leader though, so whether I get it or I don't I'll continue to do what I'm doing."
"I won the Champions League in my first season and after that, seeing the reaction that it brought around the club, I want to feel that again with Chelsea - not just in football but with Chelsea.

"I want to help Chelsea get back to winning titles and winning cups.

"I am not going to run when things are going badly. I want to be one of the reasons that helps us get back to the best."
