Chilwell speaks
Ben Chilwell on missing the Euros: "You got to try and take the silver linings of everything. I mean, this would be a good opportunity for me to get a break. It's not often you get to have a long break. So I think I look at it in that respect, would be nice to have a bit of break, refresh, recharge and get fit and go again next season.”
Chilwell on Pochettino's departure: "It was a surprise. I think with the end of the season, how well the team did. It was definitely a surprise, but good luck to him wherever he goes, moving forward. And you know, we've got to look forward now as a club. I'm not gonna look into the speculation of who might come in, but if he does come in, I'm sure it will go well, and we can push on next season.
"I think you can kind of tell on the pitch the atmosphere has been brilliant. The togetherness. I mean the questions always to do with you know if we could do it every week and towards the back end of the season, you saw that the team really gelled together and it was brilliant to watch.”
