Patrick Bamford is determined to give his all at Middlesbrough in order to capture the eye of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
The highly-promising 21-year old striker is on a season-long loan with the Championship club and is hoping to bring success to the Riverside Stadium while performing at a level that could persuade Mourinho to give him a Blues first team chance next term.
"Success at Boro is the priority because doing well here is the key to me taking the next step," he told the Teesside Gazette.
"I have to be honest and say at the end of the day I want to be a Chelsea first team player.
"But to do that I know I need to make a success of my time at Boro. I need to get games, play well and score goals.
"I need the experience but I'm not here to go through the motions. I have to play well. I have to get into the team here, stay there and score.
"The best thing for me is to be a regular part of a team up there challenging for promotion.
"If I can do that here then I know that really improves my chances there."
