Diego Moreira is happy with his first weeks at Chelsea.

The summer arrival from Benfica has just made his Premier League 2 debut in Chelsea's 6-1 thrashing of Blackburn Rovers.

He told chelseafc.com, "I have already had the opportunity to train and play with the men's team, seeing how they train and play and with all their experience, I see why they are top players. I want to get there by applying some of those habits.

"I have learned so much from all the players because you can pick up tips from anyone, even if they do not play in the same position as you, but I think Raheem Sterling is special. I like the way he plays."

On settling so quickly, Moreira he also said: "I have the team and the club to thank for that, everyone has helped me to be comfortable. The team gave me a warm welcome when I joined and even in the first game, even though I did not score, I like our communication.

"Coming into a new environment, you can feel the physicality and the intensity, but it is nothing that I cannot handle as I enjoy new challenges every day."
