Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has opened up about his tough season so far.
The 21-year-old is one of the youngest keepers in the Premier League at present.
But he was vital in their 1-0 win over Chelsea at the weekend, and he hopes such a performance can now propel him to consistent game time.
I think it's been difficult at times but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world," Bazunu told the Daily Echo.
"I've learned so much and I'm going to continue to learn. I think I always knew it was going to be like this, I knew it wasn't going to be plain-sailing.
"It's the best league in the world, I'm coming in as a young goalkeeper, seeing these things for the first time and I think the most important thing is to not get caught up or get too disappointed about things and keep a level of confidence that I'm where I need to be and I just need to keep working hard."
