Midfielder Morgan Rodgers has given a flawless assessment of his early months at Chelsea, even as the team faces challenging results ahead of their clash with Bournemouth.
The Blues head into the international break sitting tenth in the Premier League table, having endured a frustrating run of three consecutive matches without a win under manager Xabi Alonso. Yet, despite the team's instability, the 24-year-old midfielder has had an outstanding individual start, justifying his record-breaking transfer from Aston Villa for £117 million.
In an interview with The Standard, Rodgers expressed his genuine satisfaction with his performances:
Ten – I’m having a great time. I feel better than ever in my life. I’m playing, contributing, scoring goals, providing assists, creating moments – I’m doing it all like I’ve never done before in my career. So why shouldn’t it be ten out of ten?
In this Premier League season, Rodgers has already netted three goals and provided one assist in five appearances for Chelsea. The only teammate ahead of him in terms of goal contributions in domestic competitions this season is Brazilian forward Joao Pedro.
