The Mexican forward is plying his trade at Sabadell in the Spanish Segunda
division, but revealed Stamford Bridge personnel are monitoring his progress
closely and regularly attending his games.
There s a Chelsea rep who comes every 15 days to watch my home
games, Davila told Goal.com.
Three weeks ago, the head scout came to watch the match against Barcelona
B. They re paying attention, watching my matches and tell me when they observe
something in my game.
They let me know when they think I should improve certain aspects so I
can keep growing. That gives me confidence so I can be better every time.
I feel great right now, I m recovering from a broken hand I sustained a
couple of weeks ago, but I feel happy, I think I ve gotten a lot better; this
time in my career has served me in order to grow as a player.
Davila, 21, signed a five-year contract with Chelsea after moving from Chivas
in 2011 and was immediately sent on loan to Vitesse Arnhem, although only made
three appearances in a disappointing spell. However, since playing with Sabadell
this term, Davila has been a regular and is much happier in Spain.
He continued: In the Netherlands the language and the weather, it takes
you about six or seven months, then you adapt, and it serves you to get into
the rhythm and speed of European football.
When I came to Spain I felt better, more adapted. Coming here was easier,
I liked it.
Davila has an eye on rejoining Chelsea and playing for the Blues first team,
but he is understanding of the club s plan for him and has adopted a patient
approach to one day playing in the Premier League.
I m going through the process that they ve set out for me, Davila
said. They want me to develop for two,
maybe three years on loan.
They ve told me that being at a club like Chelsea is adapting to
circumstances, growth, loan spells, learning abroad and being a player who
wants to reach the top. When Chelsea tells me that it s convenient for me to go
back, I will, and I hope I get to play with the first team soon.
