Eden Hazard believed that the arrivals of Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas have eased the pressure on him.

The Belgium international has been excited by the new Chelsea signings' early form and feels that their contributions will help the Blues to challenge on all four front. The Blues splashed over £60 million to prise the Spain international pair away from La Liga and have already seen a return on their investment. Costa has scored four goals – including a double against Everton last time out – while Fabregas has provided four assists.

And Hazard believes that his new team-mates can take the club to the next level, following a trophyless 2013-14.

"It's true they're the best players. Costa can score every game and Cesc is one of the best midfielders in the world," Hazard, who scored 17 goals in all competitions last season, told the club's official website.

"Cesc can score as well and make good assists, just like the first game against Burnley where he made a beautiful pass for Andre Schurrle. It's very important for the team and he can help us win.

"Last season I scored a lot of goals and maybe this season I can make a lot more passes forward because Costa is one of the best and he can score. It's my job to score but it's also my job to make assists as well. I can now concentrate on assists.

"I'm ready to be better than last season. When I'm on the pitch I try to give my best.

"The new players have settled in very good. I enjoy playing with the best players in the squad and I'm very happy. We have a very competitive team and we want more than last season. Last season we played good but we didn't win any trophies so we want more.

"We can win four trophies and I hope we can compete in the two cups, the Premier League and Champions League for a long time throughout the year."

Chelsea also spent £16m to acquire Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid but the left-back has yet to dislodge Cesar Azpilicueta from the starting XI and Hazard believes that it is "important" that the Spaniard plays behind him on the left flank.

"I have Azpi behind me and he helps me when I attack or have to defend," the Belgian observed. "Off the pitch we are very close friends because he can speak French and understands everything.

"It is important for me to play with him because I know how he plays. I played against him when he was in Marseille and it was always a tough game. I think he can reach the level of being one of the best right- or left-backs in the world.
