Chelsea full back Ben Chilwell believes he was suffering from a lack of confidence last season.
When he was still at Leicester and wanted by top clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City, Chilwell was having a less than impressive season.
The Englishman came in for some criticism and has now spoken about the time in his life on social media.
Chilwell has shown his quality for Chelsea this season since completing a summer transfer.
"Last year I went through a period where my confidence took a hit and it affected me in my every day life," he wrote.
"I eventually spoke to someone about it and found it helped a lot. In football especially people don't like to show weakness. But talking about difficulties or problems in your life with others is important.
"Everyone is going through someone and hopefully someone has seen this tweet and feels they are able to talk to someone about something troubling them, where they felt they couldn't before."
