Watford midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah insists it was the right decision to leave Chelsea.

Craig Burley tries to wrap his head around latest reports that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is close to joining Chelsea.
Almost exactly 11 years have passed since Arsenal sold Ashley Cole to Chelsea. It was a tortuously long and publicly acrimonious process, more than 18 months from beginning to end and punctuated by an infamous hotel meeting, a Football Association investigation and an explosive autobiography.
