It was like I passed away or something - Chilwell

   The Blues full-back explained his reaction to a video from former team-mate James Maddison that headlined a difficult decision.

  Chelsea new £50 million ($65m) signing Ben Chilwell spoke about how hard it was to leave Leicester City this summer, but the defender said he is now aiming to build new friendships at Stamford Bridge.

   23-year-old fullback was unveiled to the media after making his first start against Tottenham and spoke about making the decision to leave Leicester, his club of 11 years that gave him his first chance in the game.

   Foxes Manager Bender Rodgers ultimately gave his blessing for Chilwell to move as the left-back described his emotional exit from the King Power Stadium for the first time.

  One of Chilwell's best friends in football is James Maddison, who posted a video of the pair together at the King Power Stadium.

  "I did feel emotional, yes," Chilwell continued. "It was quite funny because when he posted it; I think I actually got more messages from that video than I did on the actual move itself. It went down quite well, didn't it?

  "Although, I had a few people messaging me having jokes that it was like I had passed away or something. It seemed like that sort of video. It was difficult to leave. When I have friends like that, that I am that close with like James, it makes it a bit more difficult.

  "But, we still keep in contact, we talk most days. Just about general things, how he is doing and how I am doing. He knows it is what's best for my career and there's no one happier than him [for me]. We are still good friends and we will continue to be."
