Chelsea‘s Victor Moses has said that new Blues manager Antonio Conte is playing him in his favoured position of left-wing.
The 25-year-old has spent the majority of his Chelsea career out on loan, taking in spells at Liverpool, Stoke City and West Ham United.
However, Moses is now back with the Blues and has delivered some encouraging performances in the early stages of pre-season.
As reported by Get West London, Moses said: “That is my position really, staying out wide and most of the time going into one v one situations which I am good at.
“It is similar to the kind of game I was playing at Wigan and I have really enjoyed the two games.
“As a winger, you want to get at defenders and make it hard for them. Instead of them going forwards, they have to defend against you.”
Moses struggled to make much of an impact at West Ham last season as he scored just one goal in 21 Premier League appearances, but he will be hopeful of performing far more consistently if he gets a chance to impress for Chelsea next season.
With Eden Hazard ahead of him in the pecking order at the club, Moses may not be guaranteed a starting berth should he remain at Chelsea, but he could prove to be a useful squad member in Antonio Conte’s first campaign in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have made two signings so far this summer, with Michy Batshuayi and N’Golo Kante both joining the club, and there could be further arrivals before the closure of the transfer window.
The Blues get their Premier League campaign underway with a home game against West Ham next month.
