Marcus Bettinelli says he's loved his time with Chelsea.

The veteran goalkeeper is strictly third-choice, but is also regarded as a locker room leade.

He told Chelsea's matchday programme: "I've loved it here so far.

"When I first joined, the realisation of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world hit me when I walked in the building.

"I still feel like that now we've obviously gone through a really difficult transition period, I think we're still finding our way, on and off the pitch, but I think we're close. We've shown glimpses this season of how well we can do on the pitch, so it's an exciting time.

"I've loved every minute of my time here being involved in finals and Club World Cups, playing with some of the best players in the world. It's all I've ever dreamed of. I joined in the role of third choice knowing that I wasn't going to play that much, and I thought I might miss it, but because I get to play in training every day, I don't miss it as much as I thought I would do. I've absolutely loved it, and I hope that continues."
