Schurrle, 24, completed a £22m move from the Blues to German side Wolfsburg in February.

The Germany international had made 14 appearances for Chelsea earlier this season, most of those as a substitute, and had not been expecting to receive any recognition when Mourinho's side sealed the league title on 3 May.

Speaking in an interview with BBC World Service's World Football programme, Schurrle said: "I didn't know that I'd get a medal when I didn't play most of the second half of the season,"

"Jose Mourinho sent me a text to say that I'd get a medal and he asked me to come to the last game. That was very nice for me.

"I'm really happy for the boys. They played a very good second half of the season so of course me it's good to get a medal but the boys did the work."

A Premier League title-winner's medal means Schurrle could feasibly end with a hat-trick of medals this season.

He was a World Cup winner with Germany in Brazil last year, while Wolfsburg will play Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup final on 30 May.

Schurrle feels his World Cup-exploits accelerated his departure from Chelsea, admitting the volume of football he played, coupled with little time off between the tournament and the start of the Premier League, left him exhausted.

"I had the World Cup which was very perfect for me and the start of the season was good as well," he added.

"Then there came a little bit of a period for me where my body didn't feel very good, I was not clear in my head and I didn't have as many good moments for Chelsea.

"I wanted to come back to the Bundesliga, I wanted to feel a little bit more in the team and to get a bit more playing time.

"I love Chelsea still, I'm not frustrated, it was a great experience."

:cry:

Despite ultimately being a bit-part player for Chelsea, Schurrle says he would not hesitate recommending other players to move there if they get the chance.

"It can be difficult to get first team football because you have so many good players," he said.

"I think I took my chances very well because normally every time I got playing time I did something good and I scored.

"The manager doesn't need to change anything because the team is winning, then it's very difficult. You just have to be clear in your head and take the chances when they come.

"If you have the chance, you have got to go there."

Pfff still miss him, such a likeable guy. His profile is also one we're missing since he left, a goal scoring winger/attacker.

Deciding to trade him in for the, so-called, 'upgrade' in Cuadrado will be one of the stupidest decisions ever.

Wolfsburg forward Andre Schurrle is delighted to have been invited to Chelsea's final game of the season to receive a Premier League winners' medal.

The 24-year-old Germany star was sold to the Bundesliga side in January for a fee in the region £22m but made 14 Premier League appearances and scored three goals in the campaign prior to that.

Schurrle told BBC World Service's World Football programme: "I didn't know that I'd get a medal when I didn't play most of the second half of the season.

this was all about money - both Schurrle & Chelsea made out like bandits on this deal with Wolfsburg - I am sure the club was hoping Cuadrado could replace Zie German, but as we all could tell that answer was 'no'.

Would take full kit wanker to a whole new level, if he reveals a Chelsea strip

I think you're mixing up him with Salah, and it's already a major muck up.

Schurrle is better than salah.

I miss ANDRE!!!!![emoji26] [emoji22] [emoji174]

But we only went for Cuadrado because we sold Schurrle. Otherwise, that transfer wouldn't have happened.
