Chelsea striker Tino Anjorin insists no Lokomotiv Moscow regrets

Chelsea striker Tino Anjorin has no regrets over his loan with Lokomotiv Moscow.

The move was cut short in January, with Anjorin now with Huddersfield.

He told Football.London: "It was completely different: a new city, culture, lifestyle. It certainly mixed things up, which I like – moving to a new country is one of the least boring things you could do," he says. "I threw myself in at the deep end: different language, city, I didn't know a single person. That was something I had to get on with and learn from. It helped me mature.

"Coming up to Huddersfield, it's been a lot easier. I knew Jon Russell, who was at Chelsea, Levi, Jamal [Blackman], so it's been a lot easier. I've got friends up here that can help me out and make sure I'm settled."

Anjorin admits he'd like more minutes with the Terriers.

"When I've come on so far, we've been trying to win, so maybe we're going a little more direct, or we're sitting back a bit and making sure we see out the game.

"So I've not had the full Championship experience, but all the games have been exciting, tight and close. Really competitive. The promotion push is tight, and there is a lot of pressure, but I love that because it only makes you a better person and player. It's a good pressure.

"It's an exciting end to the season for sure. Of course, I hope I can have an impact in every single game and help the club. That's why I joined."
