“To be honest, I was expecting to sing for my initiation – but I haven’t had that!" Chilwell laughed.
"I had to give a little speech in the first meeting I was in about how happy I was to be here, and how hopefully we can go on and do great things together for the rest of the season... I got that out of the way pretty fast!
“Everyone’s been good in different ways. There are a few of us who go and get coffees after training, there are people I get lunch with, and there are a few of us who do a shooting drill every day after training – Justin won today, Ebs won yesterday, Eddie is good, and I put myself up there!
“Coming in, I’ve noticed how together this group is – and not just the players, the whole building. At the training ground, all the staff and all the players are very close. It’s a very close-knit group of people, and when I think of the teams I’ve played in which have been successful, they’ve always had the togetherness that seems to be here as well.”
