Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen says he's enjoying his loan with Coventry City.

The fullback is impressing with the Sky Blues.

He told the club's website: "It is a good loan, we have started the season well. We have had some ups and downs, but it is the process of developing in my career and this is what I need, a good loan. So far, it is going well.

"Charlton was my first loan so this was more to experience how England play men's football and so that a younger player like me can see the difference in the Championship. There are more games in the Championship, coming quick and fast, and I think against better teams and players it is really good for my development. I am happy to play here.

"It is tough because normally when you played at Under-23s you don't play as many games as I do now. You have to recover well, eat good. It is quite tough, but I feel really fit. All the boys welcomed me very well when I arrived. Every coach, the assistants and the gaffer. The fans are pleased with me."
