Saul Niguez reveals he was told to leave Atletico Madrid by Diego Simeone after pleas to play in his correct position... and he may NOT have joined Chelsea without the influence of keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga

Saul Niguez has candidly opened up on how frustrations at not being played in his correct decision at Atletico Madrid led to him joining Chelsea on loan.

The Spaniard left it late to seal a temporary switch to the Premier League side on deadline day but within minutes he was on Twitch with prominent Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos.

Llanos, who has a close relationship with many top footballers including Lionel Messi, spoke to Saul about moving to England, leaving his family behind, not knowing the language and the influence of Spaniards in Chelsea's dressing room.
