LEWIS BAKER urged more young English players to try their luck abroad yesterday and believes his time in the Netherlands will improve his chances of making the first team at Chelsea.

Baker is on a season-long loan at Dutch side Vitesse Arnem and wants more young players to get over their fear of leaving England.

“I think a lot of the English boys maybe don’t want to try coming out abroad for some reason,” he said.

“The first loan I did, I didn’t maybe want to go abroad, but seeing different cultures and different ways of playing I would advise [it] to young English players.

“I think if you go and try different places, you pick up different things and different styles of playing.

“It’s just about experiences, I think.”
