Chelsea starlet Madueke: Exciting to work with Pochettino

Chelsea starlet Noni Madueke has opened up regarding new boss Mauricio Pochettino.

The winger arrived in the winter from PSV Eindhoven but struggled for regular game time.

Madueke did impress late in the season under caretaker Frank Lampard, but could not help his team avoid a lower mid-table finish in the Premier League.

“If he can make me better, I'll be a very good player," he stated about new boss Pochettino, per the Evening Standard.

“That's exciting. I will never compromise the way I play — my game is already risky as it is. It's about becoming as effective as I am skilful.

“Young players need a manager that can develop them further. You see Jude [Bellingham] made a move to Real Madrid at 19 years of age. It's about how good you are. If you're the best in your position, you play."
