Ruben Loftus-Cheek is grateful to Chelsea fans for the way they've welcomed him back this season.
The midfielder spent last term on-loan with Fulham.
He told today's Chelsea match programme: "I've always felt a good connection with the Chelsea fans, ever since I made my debut. I've always felt like they were behind me, wanting me to do well.
"Even coming off the back of the Fulham season, when I kind of fell off the radar – being in a team that got relegated and not scoring too much goals or getting assists – to come back and hear the fans still sing your name is such a good feeling.
"That reiterates that point about how the fans are always behind me, wanting me to succeed, so I've always got a place in my heart for the Chelsea fans, for sure. 100 per cent."
