Chelsea youngster Ian Maatsen struck his first goal at senior level for Charlton Athletic this past weekend.

The 19-year-old has made 30 appearances for Charlton this term and is adapting to being used in unfamiliar positions. Playing in an attacking role on the right, he scored his first goal for his loan club during Saturday's 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers.

Maatsen told Chelsea's website: "At the beginning the deal happened very quickly, and I had to make a decision within 24 hours with Chelsea, my parents and agents. My first few months were very different because I used to drive into Cobham with my team-mates and within a day I was seeing different faces, but it went well. The boys took care of me and were very welcoming.

"Outside of football I had to look for an apartment to stay in and live on my own for the first time. It was a bit new for me. I was so used to living in digs with Pierre [Ekwah-Elimby]. Games and training were very different also but playing with guys who are older and have more experience in the game than me has been good.

"Once I got my first minutes, I was settled. I just wanted to work hard and show my best self for the team. I started to play more and more and become a part of the team and it's been going really well - I didn't expect it."
