Ben Chilwell has described his decision to join Chelsea from Leicester City in 2020 as a "no-brainer" ahead of his return to the King Power Stadium this weekend.
The 26-year-old, after months of speculation, finally agreed to sign for the Blues in August 2020 in a deal worth up to £50million. After coming through the academy system at Leicester, Chilwell still had an emotional connection with the club but he knew as soon as Chelsea came calling, then it made perfect sense for his career trajectory.
Now, almost three years on, Chilwell has established himself as a significant member of the Blues' first-team under three different head coaches. Ahead of his return to the Foxes on Saturday, Chilwell was asked about how difficult the decision was to leave the club and despite it being a "no-brainer" for him, the difficulties that came with the move.
