Morgan Rogers has said he is loving life at Chelsea after an impressive start to his career with the club.
Rogers came off the bench to provide three assists as Chelsea came from behind to beat Leeds United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
The 24-year-old has two goals and four assists in five games for Chelsea, since arriving from Aston Villa in a £117m club record transfer this summer.
Rogers said he has felt at ease in Xabi Alonso's side and thanked Chelsea for giving him the freedom to express himself. The midfielder has built an encouraging understanding with former Manchester City academy teammate Cole Palmer, who netted twice against Leeds as Chelsea booked their passage to the fourth round.
Asked about his adaptation at Chelsea, Rogers said it's 'easy' to play with the top talent at Stamford Bridge.
