Chelsea captain John Terry has claimed that he expects Cesc Fabregas to be successful at Stamford Bridge following his move from Barcelona earlier this summer.

Terry is certain that the Spaniard has the tools to become a key player for Chelsea, and is hopeful that he can produce the same form which saw him become a key figure during his time at London rivals Arsenal.

"He's a very good signing," the central defender told Chelsea Magazine. "He is great on the ball, a great box-to-box player, he scores an awful lot of goals as well and he has got an aggressive streak in him too - I certainly remember that from his Arsenal days.

"I'm sure he is going to fit in really well at Chelsea and do well in the years to come."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is reported to have rejected the opportunity to re-sign Fabregas before his transfer to Chelsea.
