Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green has announced his retirement at the age of 39.

One of his final acts was when he lifted the Europa League trophy after the Blues thumped Arsenal 4-1 in Baku.

In his statement that he posted to social media, Green said: “Being part of the group and celebrations with such a special squad of players after winning the Europa League seems a fitting way to end what's been an amazing journey for me in the game.

“I've loved every moment and feel privileged to have enjoyed the career I have. I've played with, and against, some of best players in the world and have experienced so much that professional football has to offer."
