Andre Schurrle: Chelsea have the squad to win the title

Andre Schurrle is backing Chelsea to challenge for silverware on all fronts this season.

The Blues have recruited Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa, Felipe Luis and Didier Drogba this summer as Jose Mourinho looks to guide the west London club to their first Premier League title since 2010.

And midfielder Schurrle is confident that Mourinho’s men have what it takes to challenge for honours on all four fronts.

“I’m hoping to achieve what we couldn’t last season, which is to win something,” Schurrle told Chelsea’s website. “That’s what it’s all about, winning matches and winning trophies.

“We have the squad, we have the players and now we just need to work hard.”

The Germany international also had special praise for all of Chelsea’s new signings.

“They’re all world-class players,” he added. “Drogba’s back with his club and Fabregas is one of the best players in the world.

“We played against Filipe Luis last season when he was with Atletico [Madrid] and he did very well.

“I saw Diego Costa’s goal against Olimpija Lubljana and it was a great finish so I’m looking forward to playing with all of them, they all have great quality.”
