Chelsea full-back Filipe Luis has insisted he is willing to wait for a chance to establish himself in the first-team.

The 29 year-old built a reputation as one of Europe’s best defenders during his four year spell with Atletico Madrid, but has largely been a reserve since joining Chelsea in July.

“It’s brilliant to be at this club, it’s a great feeling,” he told the London Evening Standard. “Every time I play and train, I feel I’m at a big club.

“Everyone wants to play. If you don’t, normally you’re not happy. But when I came here, I spoke with Mourinho and I knew I’d come to Chelsea to be a champion, not to be the best left-back or best crosser or something.”
