Chelsea midfielder Kante: I know I'll be forward more under Sarri

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is enjoying his new role under manager Maurizio Sarri.

New signing Jorginho is now playing as Chelsea's deepest midfielder with Kante playing a little further forward in Sarri's system, which has helped the Blues start with a perfect four wins from four games in the league.

Kante said: "It's a new system with a new manager, new players and I enjoy being in this position to try and sometimes be in the box and then to be back defending, but I'm enjoying this new position."

When asked about scoring more goals, he added: "I will be more in front and I've already got many chances. I need to understand that in this position I will have to score to make a difference for the team. I need to be ready for that but I haven't got a target.

"If I don't score anymore but the team keep winning and I'm helping the team I will be happy. However, when I do have the chance, I'd like to score of course."
