I think as far as kids go, you just have to work hard. Work on your skills, keep focused.

There is such a belief in the squad that we could really do something.

I think every player enjoys praise and I have to work extremely hard on the training ground to bring my game together.

If players are performing for you, their age shouldn't really matter, especially because the older players can bring their experience to the table.

But what club wouldn't welcome the chance to strengthen their side, what club would turn down the resources Chelsea have?

When you see young players coming into the squad and pushing you, no matter what age you are, you have to react. You have to worry about yourself and perform as well as you can. If you end up looking around at others, wondering whos performing better, you take your eye off the ball.

But to be fair, Arsenal are a quality side. They're not where they are by chance - they are not top of the league and unbeaten because they are a bad team.
