Evans, currently on loan at Leyton Orient, spoke to Soccernet about his hopes, dreams and the ambition that burns within him.
“I just want to do as well as I can. I want to be England No.1, and No.1 at a Premiership club that is challenging for trophies. There's no point aiming low. If I only get as far as Division One, then at least it's better than Division Two or Three.”
Evans’ natural ability has recently caught the eye of England Under-21 coach David Platt, who rewarded Evans with a place in the Under-21 squad.
Liverpool’s Chris Kirkland and Paul Robinson of Leeds maybe above him in the pecking order, but Evans has more international experience than the both of them. With 45 England youth caps, Evans holds the record number of caps for a goalkeeper below senior level.
Evans said: “Robinson is the man in possession at the moment and I'd like to be in his position. He's a good keeper and has a chance to stake his claim in the senior side. I bet he's well chuffed.
“Kirkland is a year above me so he'll probably start, but I'd like to get part of a game. Just to be involved is nice.”
With Evan’s immediate target being regular first team football at club level, he was quick to express his need to escape Stamford Bridge, avoiding a season of reserve team football.
He said: 'I came to Orient for first-team football, it's as simple as that. I didn't want to go back to the reserves and there's no point rotting on the bench.
“With the transfer window, you're only allowed one loan a season so I had to get out before the end of August. I've only got one year left at Chelsea and wanted to put myself in the shop window. 
“I need to be playing wherever I go. If Chelsea offered me a new contract as their number-two keeper then I'd definitely take it, otherwise I'll be looking to leave. I'm still settling in at Orient and this is the best bunch of lads I've ever played with. Everyone really seems to care about each other and I've never really experienced that in football.”
Evans is on a two-month loan at Orient and has expressed a desire to stay for the rest of the season. Despite his reluctance to return to Stamford Bridge, he has no problem with Chelsea and retains great affection for Ed de Goey and Mark Bosnich.
“Ed is a quality keeper and always gave me advice on positioning and technique,” he said. “We're still in touch and he tries to help me even though he doesn't see my games.
“I'm not really sure what happened with Boz. I was on the bench for his first few games and he looked top-class. I'm not sure if he fell out with Claudio Ranieri or lost confidence but something must have happened. He is very determined and I'm sure he can bounce back.”
With Chelsea having such an embarrassment of riches in terms of first team goalkeepers, it is unlikely that Evans will breakthrough in the near future. However, Evans is young man with a bright future and I’m sure that it would be in Chelsea’s best interest to make sure that his future lay at Stamford Bridge.
First team experience elsewhere? Yes.
Full time move to another club? No.
