Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling admits he's unhappy with his form this season.

Sterling is Chelsea's leading goalscorer this term.

But he says: "There's been early parts of the season that I was not happy with my performances. So far I've been nowhere near the level that I need to be but I'm sure that will come as time passes.

"It's not something that I'm panicking or stressed about. It's part of the game. We're in a decent position in the table, we've qualified for the Champions League, but there will be better performances from myself in the near future."

He continued: "You come to a new team, there's different things that are going to be asked of you and it's a different shape. I haven't played in a back five for a while, but it's something the manager's asked me to do and something that I'm more than happy to do as well.

"When we've got the ball I'm high and wide but of course you have to defend as well, that's part of the game. The more time I have to figure it out in this position the better I will do.

"I feel my best position is as a winger, but like anything the manager has his way of playing. He's not had a full pre-season with us, he was dropped in in the middle of a storm really. He came in and I think he's grabbed it with both hands and he's trying to figure out the best personnel for positions and I'm sure with time it will come together nicely."
