Wolves midfielder George Saville, who is currently on loan with Millwall, has discussed his “tough” experience at Premier League champions Chelsea.

The 22-year-old graduated through the Blues' youth setup after joining the club in 2004 at the age of 11 and signed a new three-and-a-half year deal with the west London club in 2012.

However, Saville failed to earn a first-team debut and only represented the reserve side.

The Premier League champions sent the midfielder on several stints on loan before selling him to Championship side Wolves in August 2014.

“It’s difficult, why would a club rely on a youngster when they have the money,” Saville told Lions Live Radio.

“It’s tough but that’s football.

“I’ve obviously grown as a player, I’ve just got to get my head down and get on with it.”

Saville was loaned to League One outfit Millwall in October and has made an impressive start to life at the Den under Neil Harris.

“I’m enjoying every day, the boys here are brilliant,” the Camberley-born star added.

“It’s very important to have a strong group of lads, you’ve got to have a bit of everything and we have that.

“Neil is a good manager, the best thing about him is his man management, he talks to me a lot, he understands the players.”
