Saul Niguez expects to improve after joining Chelsea from Atletico Madrid.

Having spent his entire career at Atleti, the 26-year-old midfielder has taken a leap by joining Chelsea on a season-long loan.

And the Spain international is confident about making his mark at Stamford Bridge in the coming months.

"The three midfielders who are playing are at a high level. It will not be easy to play, but if I put my mind to it and fight it, I can get it," Saul told Spanish internet celebrity Ibai Llanos in a conversation on Twitch.

"Chelsea has promised me to train in my position [midfield], but to play we will see. To return to certain roles that I do not play in now - that is the most important reason for my decision.

"This transfer is a step out of my comfort zone for me. I believe that you will see a new Saul in a new [better] place."
