Asmir Begovic admits that his move to Chelsea has not gone "as planned".

Asmir Begovic has admitted that his move to Chelsea has not gone "as planned" as he has struggled to cement a regular spot in the first team.

The 28-year-old gave up his number one role at Stoke City last summer to join the Blues, whose first-choice keeper is Thibaut Courtois.

Begovic stepped in for Courtois when the Belgium international was injured, but was pushed back to the substitutes' bench when the 23-year-old returned to action at the start of December.

"[Moving to Chelsea] wasn't as simple as being number one or number two - I felt I needed a new challenge," Begovic told the London Evening Standard.

"Certain things were put in place, conversations sounded good to me and I wanted to be part of a great club and help the team win trophies. It hasn't gone as planned, but hopefully that will change and the future will look a bit brighter."

Begovic spent five years at Stoke before moving to Chelsea.
