Chelsea goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli reveals he 'is left in awe of Ballon d'Or nominees Jorginho and N'Golo Kante in training' and hails Thiago Silva for 'never appearing flustered'

Goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli has revealed Jorginho and N'Golo Kante are the two Chelsea players he has been most in awe of since his move to Stamford Bridge in summer.

Chelsea strengthened their goalkeeping ranks by signing free agent Marcus Bettinelli from Fulham on a two-year contract in July.

The 29-year-old was signed to provide competition for No 1 Edouard Mendy and back-up Kepa Arrizabalaga after the Blues released Willy Caballero following the end of his contract.

But he has been shackled to the bench, firmly behind Mendy and Arrizabalaga in the pecking order, and is yet to make an appearance for Thomas Tuchel's side.
