Morgan Rogers is convinced Chelsea can once again compete for the top trophies and says he and Cole Palmer know exactly how to play together. Rogers became the most expensive British player of all time when he joined Chelsea from Aston Villa straight after his World Cup exploits where he helped England reach the semi-finals and finish third in the tournament. The 24-year-old scored on his debut in Chelsea's 3-1 win over Real Sociedad on Saturday.
"I'm just so excited," Rogers told Sky Sports. "It was just an unbelievable summer. "It's probably the one summer where I didn't mind that it was a short one.

It can be good, it can be bad, but I feel a positive energy and a vibe. A fresh manager, a fresh change of environment, new players added and stuff - I feel that everyone's excited to see where it can go and where we can take it. "Obviously, everyone's talking about it, who knows what we're going to do?
But that's down to us and that's the thing - we've got a confident group of players that believe in ourselves and believe in each other's ability and our own. "Chelsea is a club that wants to win things. It's a club that I've always grown up watching win titles, win Champions Leagues and I want to be in teams that do that as well.
"The players - the Hazards, the Drogbas, the Lampards coming through when I was growing up watching football. It's a massive team and they were always winning and competing for titles and I want to be in teams that do that here. "There's a lot of players in that room that have the aspirations to do the same thing, so it's exciting where we can take it.
