Chelsea wingback, Victor Moses, has said that 2016 was the best year of his football career.
The Nigerian has been reinvented by new Blues boss, Antonio Conte, who gave him a chance to prove his worth, following several loan spells away from the club.
“I’m feeling stronger and I’ve been playing the best football of my career,” Moses saidim the Chelsea match-day programme ahead of their FA Cup match with Peterborough.
“I think this season has gone well for the club and for me personally.
“I’m enjoying my football and I think that’s related to my fitness. I’m a lot fitter now than ever, so I just want to keep that going. We’ve got coaches here who are willing to help us, regarding the fitness side and it’s going well.
“You’ve got to keep on going up and down the wing for the whole game in that wing-back role, so you obviously need a lot of stamina to do that and I think I’ve got that.”
Moses also admitted he was surprised to be utilized in a new role, but was delight with how well it suits him now.
He added: “I’ve never dreamed of playing in this position in my life, but I’m enjoying it and I think it’s probably one of the best positions to be honest. The more games I’m playing there, the more I’m improving.
“I’ve never played this formation before but I’m getting used to it and I feel I’m getting better and better with every game. I’m delighted with the way we’re playing, not just me but the whole team, with the formation the manager has brought. He’s played the game and he knows how to organise his players.
“Last year was one of the best in my career and I’m delighted with that and it’s thanks to the manager who gave me the opportunity to go out there and express myself. He gave me that chance, I grabbed it and now I want to keep enjoying my football.”
