The England international has often struggled for a starting place since arriving from Manchester City two summers ago but has now earned a run in the first-team thanks to some impressive displays.

"I have never, ever regretted moving to Chelsea," he said. "It was a move forward. It has improved me mentally. I've learnt to be a lot more patient with things on and off the pitch."

"I was always confident; working hard. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would start going well. I'm just happy to be playing well for my club and playing well for the people that had my back the whole time, like the fans and the manager."

Wright-Phillips' good form has secured him a recall to the England squad. He added: "It's great to be back in the England squad. If I continue to play well, I don't see why I can't stay in there."
