Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta has admitted that he feels "comfortable" in the Premier League following his arrival at Stamford Bridge last summer.

The 24-year-old became a regular starter under interim manager Rafael Benitez, but has slumped behind teammate Branislav Ivanovic this season since the return of boss Jose Mourinho.

"I gave everything in training [when I arrived] and my match time increased as the season advanced," Azpilicueta told FIFA.com. "The transition took time but today I feel very comfortable playing in the Premier League."

The Spaniard joined the Blues from Ligue 1 after two years with Marseille.
