Nathaniel Chalobah: England man is happy to settled at Watford

The 22-year-old took the massive decision to leave champions Chelsea and start afresh at Watford.

He made a £5m switch to The Hornets in the summer and says getting the call into the national squad already justifies his decision.

Chalobah was sent out on loan six times – taking in Watford, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Burnley, Reading and Serie A giants Napoli.

Now he’s finally put the suitcase away and is raring to show that he can cut it in the Premier League on a regular basis.

Chalobah said: “This was an opportunity for me to showcase myself. It was a difficult decision.

"I'm grateful for the opportunities Chelsea gave me. It's a difficult place to get into the team and there's a lot of pressure to win games. To chuck a youngster in is not an easy decision.

"As always I tried to stay focused and concentrated.

'Chelsea is in the past now."
