Chelsea star Ben Chilwell admits he is learning and working on his new role under Mauricio Pochettino.

The 26 year old England international has played further forward for Chelsea this season under Pochettino.

Chilwell still has defensive responsibilities in this new role, but he has more licence attack than ever before, deployed in more like a left-wing position, with Levi Colwill covering for him behind.

“It’s something new, but the manager has put his trust in me to play there so I’m just trying to repay that trust,” Chilwell told talkSPORT.

“I’m still learning as I’m going, I’ve been used to playing at left wing-back and before that left-back so this is a bit higher up the pitch. When I’m playing that high up the pitch I expect the pressure that’s on me to contribute to goals.

“Of course that’s something that I’m going to try and work on and improve in the next few games for Chelsea, to have that goal threat, shoot instead of passing the ball.

“It’s something that is new to me, it’s obviously new to Levi [Colwill] as well but we’re both taking it in our stride and we’re happy that we’re playing.”
