Belgian targets long-term Chelsea success

New Chelsea winger Kevin de Bruyne has targeted a regular starting spot at Stamford Bridge next season - but admits he may have to learn his trade elsewhere first. De Bruyne, 20, completed his move from Belgian side Genk on deadline day in a deal reported to be worth £7million. The Blues immediately loaned him back to Genk until the end of the campaign to enable him to play regular first-team football. And De Bruyne admits he could go to another Premier League club next season as he looks adjust to English top-flight football.

Proposition

The Belgian international told Sky Sports News: "It will be very difficult to come directly into the team but I will do everything to play at the level that Chelsea needs. "I hope I can get some success." He added: "I chose Chelsea because I really like the club. "They came with a proposition for me that is amazing. "I can progress and play for a good team and then I have the option to be loaned out next year to a team better than the Belgian competition. It's great."
