Andre Schurrle has set his sights on winning silverware after completing his £18m move from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea.

Options

He believes his best position is on the flank, but it will be intriguing to see how Mourinho sets out a team with Oscar, Juan Mata, Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne among the forward options. "Wide on the left is my best position because I can cut inside and score goals with my right foot, which I hope to be able to do here, but I am confident playing anywhere offensively," Schurrle said. "They are all great players, very young with lots of quality. It was my dream to train every day with such talented players so I'm very much looking forward to it." He is also looking forward to linking up with the likes of Petr Cech, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole. "I can learn many things from them," he said. "They've all had long careers and they are legends at Chelsea Football Club. "I've watched them play since I was a young boy, so it's an honour for me now to be colleagues of theirs at Chelsea."
