Edson Alvarez says he 'grieved for a whole day' when Chelsea move collapsed

 in a £43 million move last summer before the Blues finally bought Denis Zakaria on loan instead.

Alvarez has now opened up about how the ordeal affected him and how much he wanted it to happen.

"I grieved for a whole day [when my move to Chelsea didn't happen] and then showed that I am a strong person. Of course, the disappointment lasted for a while.

"I believe everything happens for a reason. Maybe it wasn’t the right time yet. My time will come, 100 per cent. That is in God’s and my own hands — and I’m working hard to be ready for a new challenge."

Azpilicueta names Chelsea's January signing who is 'unbelievable in training', not Badiashile

 has reserved special praise for January signing 

 for the impact he’s made in his first few months.

He said in a press conference: “I knew him from Atletico Madrid when we played against them and from watching their games in La Liga.

“I was quite surprised when he arrived because we know the quality he has. He’s amazing in training and in the last game against West Ham, he showed the way he can turn, create spaces, play passes.

“In training, he has been unbelievable, honestly very good. He scored the other day too and that will help with his confidence. He is a young boy with great experience and great confidence, who is making already a big impact in the team.

“I am looking forward to seeing him in the team and performing at this level.”

'I was angry, it was unfair to us': Azpilicueta opens up on not being awarded penalty vs West Ham

 calm demeanour after not having been awarded the penalty for 

 handball in the West Ham game. He admitted that even though he was angry, different managers express themselves differently.

“I was angry. I can speak about myself and when I was watching the iPad on the bench…it was a bad decision that we were not awarded a penalty. 

"That is the truth. It was quite unfair for us to maybe not get a penalty and three points, which would change the picture. 

"But I’ve been with different managers who have expressed themselves in a different way. There is nothing more I can add.”
