Chelsea teen Dominic Solanke: Great learning from Didier, Diego and Loic

Dominic Solanke is excited working with Chelsea's senior squad this season.

The striker admits he's learning every day from Didier Drogba, Loic Remy and Diego Costa.

He told the London Evening Standard: "Didier, Diego and Loic are good to me and help me during training - they give me tips, they are good role models for me.

"Obviously the first team is at a higher level than at the academy, so when you step up, you can't hide. You have to be open and let yourself improve. Certainly working with world-class players, you have to take the opportunity when it comes up.

"At a club like Chelsea it's always going to be hard to get game-time as there are so many world-class players here. You just have to keep working and hopefully my time will come."
