Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer admits he feels comfortable with manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Palmer has settled quickly since his August arrival from Manchester City.

On Pochettino, he said: "A lot of people told me how he is with young players and ever since I went to Chelsea I can see it.

"So I'm enjoying working with him and I'm excited to carry on working with him.

"I am a player who always wants the ball, anywhere, to try and help the team get out of a difficult situation or create a chance.

"He has given me the confidence and licence to go where I want on the pitch, where I feel I can use my strengths, so I'm grateful for it."
