"We were in and around it until midway through, disappointing that we fell off a bit. That’s obviously the goal for next season, we want to close the gap and be up there," he told Sky Sports.
"It’s an exciting time now with the owners confirmed today. Going forward it’s going to be exciting. The era under Roman (Abramovich) has been brilliant and now we look forward. It’s exciting and I can’t wait to get back to it."
Roman Abramovich's time at the club is set to officially come to an end after nearly two decades. Whether the Blues can match the success they had under his ownership remains to be seen but they'll be hoping to do so.
