Nathaniel Chalobah is excited to be starting a new stage in his career at Watford.
The midfielder admits he rejected a new contract offer from Chelsea to make the move last month.
“Chelsea offered me a new contract but I wanted to come and give myself the chance to play. I think being at Chelsea I would have signed a new contract and been sent back out on loan," Chalobah explained.
“That (being settled) was one of the pivotal parts in my decision as I wanted to feel like I belonged somewhere and had a home.
“I have been travelling back and forth for such a long time and Watford gave me that opportunity and it's something which is good for me.
“It was very emotional to leave Chelsea but it was time to see what the next chapter has for me."
