Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has set his sights on securing a regular place in the Blues' starting lineup following his move from Lille.

The 21-year-old, who opted for a switch to Stamford Bridge over moves to Manchester City and Manchester United this summer, believes that he will need to prove himself in order to be one of the first names on manager Roberto Di Matteo's team sheet.

"Chelsea's goals for the new season? We have not discussed it with the coach yet, but I guess that we want to do as well as last season," said Hazard.

"I do not really have any personal objectives. I just hope to play as many games as possible. I am not the type of person to set certain goals. The most important thing for me is to get regular first-team action and do well."

Hazard is thought to have cost the Champions League winners £32m.
