Victor Moses has admitted he never thought he would ever play in the wing-back role but has thanked Chelsea coach Antonio Conte for showing the faith needed to help resurrect his career at the club.

Conte started Moses as a right-wing-back for Chelsea's trip to Hull in October following back-to-back losses in the Premier League to Liverpool and Arsenal, with the tactical switch paying off as the Blues won 2-0.

Such has been Moses' ease in his new role, and indeed Marcos Alonso's ease in the same position on the left flank, that Chelsea went on a 13-game winning run from their victory at the KCOM Stadium.

But Moses has admitted he never envisioned playing in the wing-back role, but thinks he has found his best position as a player.

"I’ve never dreamed of playing in this position in my life, but I’m enjoying it and I think it’s probably one of the best positions to be honest. The more games I’m playing there, the more I’m improving," Moses told the Chelsea match-day programme ahead of the club's FA Cup third-round tie with Peterborough.

"I’ve never played this formation before but I’m getting used to it and I feel I’m getting better and better with every game. I’m delighted with the way we’re playing, not just me but the whole team, with the formation the manager has brought. He’s played the game and he knows how to organise his players.

"Last year was one of the best in my career and I’m delighted with that and it’s thanks to the manager who gave me the opportunity to go out there and express myself. He gave me that chance, I grabbed it and now I want to keep enjoying my football."

Prior to this season, Moses spent three consecutive campaigns out on loan to Stoke, Liverpool and West Ham.

But the arrival of Conte has changed things, with the 26-year-old now an integral member of the Italian's starting XI.

And Moses said of his breakthrough in the Blues' team: "I’m feeling stronger and I’ve been playing the best football of my career.

"I think this season has gone well for the club and for me personally.

"I’m enjoying my football and I think that’s related to my fitness. I’m a lot fitter now than ever, so I just want to keep that going.

"We’ve got coaches here who are willing to help us, regarding the fitness side and it’s going well.

"You’ve got to keep on going up and down the wing for the whole game in that wing-back role, so you obviously need a lot of stamina to do that and I think I’ve got that."
