Guehi admits it was the 'right decision' to leave Chelsea after being named England U21 captain

The Cobham academy graduate has moved across London to take a more prominent role in the Eagles' squad

Marc Guehi has explained why he left Chelsea for Crystal Palace in an £18 million ($25m) move over the summer.

The highly-rated 21-year-old's move raised eyebrows, with many having tipped him for a role at Stamford Bridge this season under Thomas Tuchel.

However, he opted to move to Selhurst Park and has quickly been given a starting role under Patrick Vieira. Ahead of an England Under-21s game against Kosovo, where he has been named the captain under new manager Lee Carsley, he explained his summer move.
