Marcos Alonso has revealed he always wanted to return to England and prove himself in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old fullback joined Chelsea in the summer for £24million and previously enjoyed spells with Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland in the top flight.

And the former Fiorentina defender has made an instant impact at Stamford Bridge, becoming an integral part of Antonio Conte’s much heralded back-five.

Chelsea lead the way at the top of the table and sit nine points clear of nearest rivals Tottenham ahead of this weekend’s fixtures.
