Tosin made the short move from Fulham to Chelsea over the summer, bolstering our central defensive options ahead of a busy campaign which contained European football once more.

He has already proven a valuable member of the squad, making 16 appearances and starting five of our past seven league fixtures. His robustness and passing range have stood out.

‘When you put that shirt on and see the Chelsea badge, it’s an absolutely amazing feeling,’ beams Tosin.

‘You know how big and prestigious this club is, and how many legends have been here in the past.

‘It definitely feels like home now. It’s been quite seamless settling in, knowing the manager and a few of the boys. It’s been great.’

The 27-year-old is enjoying learning off Enzo Maresca and his Chelsea team-mates daily, and he understands the quality of the squad means that while there is no guarantee of a place in the starting XI, it is beneficial in raising standards and getting the best out of everyone.

‘When you join a top club like Chelsea, there are top players in every position, so you have to fight every single day in training and be patient and bide your time, like I have done so far,’ Tosin explains.

‘Competition for places elevates your own game to a new level, that’s what it’s all about. It’s why we have so many good players in every position to push us on.

‘We are one group here; we all support each other no matter if you’re on the bench or in the starting XI,’ adds Tosin.

‘We’re all pushing for each other, and we’re all competing on the training field to get those minutes on the pitch. We’re united, and that’s what most important.’
