West Ham defender Ben Johnson says he's happy playing at left-back as a right-footer.

He has been watching back footage of Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta, who played on the left of defence under Jose Mourinho, as well as Ashley Young at Inter Milan, with whom he shares representatives.

"I've watched a lot of players playing on the left but being right-footers," he told the London Evening Standard. "Azpilicueta at Chelsea did it for years and Ashley Young at Inter Milan, still playing at the top level and doing it. There are a lot of players capable of doing it.

"Wherever the manager puts me I'll play and play 100 per cent. I've just got to have my head screwed on and focused."
