Chelsea will give Cole Palmer time to get comfortable in his new environment after completing his £42.5million move from Manchester City, according to Mauricio Pochettino.
The 21-year-old signed a seven-year deal on Friday to swap the club he joined aged seven for Pochettino's new-look Stamford Bridge outfit.
The City academy graduate played 14 league games during the club's Premier League title-winning season last term and was an unused substitute as they beat Inter Milan to win the Champions League in June.
Despite his increased involvement in the champions' first team - which included scoring in both the Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup this season - his new manager hinted a chance to play a more significant role in west London may have been a factor in persuading him to move.
