“I think coming into the squad, especially playing a system which I've been successful playing in before, it's a good opportunity for me to not just help on the pitch, but off the pitch as well, and help the younger boys and everyone generally with the experiences that I've had.

“As a team, I think his ambition, where he sees the club going, the players that he's got, and the direction that everyone's working towards, it really excited me hearing that from him.

He added: “The attacking side of things suits me as a player, and he [Glasner] emphasised that it was something that he really wants from his wing-backs, which obviously excited me.

The 28-year-old had been frozen out of the first team at Chelsea by manager Enzo Maresca, who did not see the Leicester City academy graduate as part of his plans for the season at Stamford Bridge.
