Chelsea forward Torres welcomes Fabregas to the club

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is excited about the prospect of playing with Cesc Fabregas at Stamford Bridge next season. "I wish he could have joined us a couple of years earlier," Torres told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.

"He is a blessing for strikers, he always looks to find that final key pass, he's the type of player Chelsea don't have."

Torres' fellow Spain striker Diego Costa is set to follow Fabregas to west London, with the Atletico Madrid man admitting he is on the verge of joining the Blues for a reported £32 million.

"People have been saying for some time that Chelsea have signed a striker, and if it's Diego, then it's very welcome," he added.

"The level of competition at big clubs should always be very high."
