Southampton star Tino Livramento admits he has unfinished business at Chelsea.

The right back secured a move to the Saints in the summer in search of regular first team football.

However, Livramento indicates that he is disappointed at never making a first team appearance for Chelsea.

The England Under-21 full back may want to return to the Blues in the future, if the opportunity presents itself.

Asked about any regrets after his transfer, Livramento said: "Regrets? It would have been nice to play a game but I had to think what was best for me. Being young I've always wanted to just play first team football as soon as possible.

"I feel like if I stayed there things wouldn't have happened as quickly as now.

"It was a hard decision for everyone involved. They agreed that it was best for me as well and they've always looked after me

"I'll never have a bad word to say about how Chelsea treated me growing up and developing me into the player I am today. It's probably the best academy in the world that anyone would want to go to and develop."

When asked if he could return in the future, he finished: "Maybe one day, but I'm just enjoying my football at the moment at Southampton, that's where my head's at right now. Just trying to pick up as many points as possible and improving individually.

"It was never going to be easy. Not being with coaches that have seen me grow from seven to 18, was never going to be easy.

"You just have to look at what is best for you and have good people around you who want what is best for you, a good agent, dad and family. Everything just fell into place."
