‘Better player’ Matic is ready to grasp his second chance

Nemanja Matic says he has developed into a better player since leaving Stamford Bridge three years ago and is ready to grasp his second chance at Chelsea.

The 25-year-old originally departed the Blues as part of the deal which saw David Luiz move to west London from Benfica three years ago, but is now back at the club.

Yesterday the Serbia international was back at Chelsea, signing a five-and-a-half-year deal worth around £21m.
