Kurt Zouma happy to fill in anywhere for Chelsea

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma, who has also played in the holding midfield role, has told manager Jose Mourinho that he is happy to fill in wherever his services are required.

The 20-year-old replaced Cesar Azpilicueta at left-back in Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Barcelona before beating the Champions League holders on penalties earlier this week in Washington, D.C.

"It is a new position for me," Zouma told The Sun. "I played there only one time when I was at Vaulx-En-Velin, but I have to help the team.

"The boss put me at left-back and it was not a problem.

"I just wanted to play and enjoy the game. The most important thing was that we win and I could help the team."

Zouma said he "enjoys working with good defenders" such as Chelsea captain John Terry and Gary Cahill.

"I learn a lot and I hope I will be at Chelsea for a long time," he said.
