Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has expressed his belief that his summer signings will add more style to his side's play.

Di Matteo has brought in Eden Hazard, Marko Marin and Oscar, all of whom are considered to be 'flair' players.

Chelsea are not renowned for their flair, but Di Matteo believes that his new signings could change this perception.

"I said many times before that over time it will change a little bit, but I still think we have a very good core of the team," he said.

"The new signings are very good players, and we have a good team so I think they will influence the style a little bit."

Chelsea kick their new season off away to Wigan Athletic on Sunday.
