Ben Chilwell is looking to follow in the footsteps of Ashley Cole at Chelsea, with the £50 million ($64m) addition at Stamford Bridge revealing that the Blues legend has told him to “die for the badge”.
Frank Lampard has made his new left-back part of an elaborate rebuild in west London. With reinforcements brought in across the field, Chelsea are hoping that a flurry of fresh faces will help to lift them back into contention for major honours.
Chilwell will, as a seasoned Premier League performer and England international, have an important role to play in that process after returning to full fitness.
