Former Inter Milan midfielder Cesare Casadei has explained moving to Chelsea this summer.

Casadei says he felt it was the right time for a new challenge.

“It was an eventful summer," Casadei reflected.

“But I had time to think about my choice before diving into my new adventure.

“When the offer came in, I welcomed it with open arms, even if it wasn't an easy decision and the period of acclimatization wasn't as easy.

“However, I wanted to choose to go to England and get out of my comfort zone."
