‘It was a horrible year’ - Cahill reflects on final Chelsea season

Gary Cahill has said he wants to put his final year at Chelsea behind him as he adjusts to life at Crystal Palace.

The defender joined the Eagles earlier this month having left the Blues at the end of the 2018/19 season - his ninth at Stamford Bridge.

Despite picking up silverware in his final campaign at Chelsea in the form of the Europa League, it was the centre-back’s least enjoyable season with the club, owing to the fact he played just 22 minutes of Premier League football.

Overall, the 33-year-old made just eight appearances in all competitions during Maurizio Sarri’s time in west London, and the new Palace man has revealed he just wants to erase that final year from his mind.
