The winger said: “I want to win collective trophies first. I know if I win these with Chelsea then maybe I can get the PFA Player of the Year in England or the Ballon d’Or. But when I see Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, I know I have to score more goals.
“These awards are not my objective, I just want to play; if I get the awards, it’s good for me, but it is not the first thing.”
