Diego Costa hails "outstanding" Chelsea squad

Chelsea striker Diego Costa says that his new side can 'fight for every trophy available' this season.

Diego Costa believes that Chelsea's "outstanding squad" of players can battle to win every trophy on offer this coming season.

The 25-year-old striker, who made the move to Stamford Bridge from Atletico Madrid earlier this summer, is also ready to fight for his place in the Blues' starting lineup in what promises to be a gruelling campaign.

"We have an outstanding squad and, if we can all stick together, pull in the same direction and remain focused, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be going to the final stages and fighting for every trophy available," Costa told the club's official website.

Costa ousted Fernando Torres for a place among Spain's starters in the World Cup, and he will be looking to do the same again in the Premier League, adding: "Firstly, it's important for me to respect the situation I'm in. I've come here to have a great fight professionally with Fernando Torres in order to get into the team.

"Working with players such as those here will definitely aid my game and I know I'll get chances. I look forward to playing with them but the most important thing is getting into the team and that's not a foregone conclusion."

Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by Austrian side RZ Pellets WAC on Wednesday evening.
