Liam said I'd be surprised how much I'd enjoy it. He still thought I could improve and said he would ask me to play certain roles I haven't played before, which has already started to happen."
"It just seemed like a no-brainer and a pretty perfect fit. I'm definitely shocked at the quality. There are a lot of people going straight to the top here, and I include the manager in that. The league is good and the stadiums are full. We've shown we can compete with PSG and the manager has big ambitions to win stuff this season and qualify for the Champions League."

Chilwell said Rosenior plans to use him in new roles and highlighted the squad's winning mentality. He also noted the manager's ambitions to challenge PSG and reach the Champions League.
