Hazard: 'Chelsea have strength in depth'

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard says that the Blues' squad still possesses strength in depth, despite missing out on a number of alleged transfer targets.

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has said that he remains confident of the Blues challenging on all fronts during the current campaign.

During the closing days of the transfer window, Chelsea failed to push through deals for both Ross Barkley and Fernando Llorente, with Davide Zappacosta and Danny Drinkwater the only two arrivals on deadline day.

However, despite Chelsea's first-team squad only featuring 23 players, the Belgian playmaker still expects the West Londoners to mount bids to win the Premier League and Champions League.

The 26-year-old told the Daily Mail: "I think this year will be no different from the previous years, in the sense that every year it is difficult - especially when you play in many competitions.

"This year we have the Champions League as well and it is not easy to succeed in multiple competitions. But we will do our best and we have got depth in our squad so sometimes maybe one or two players can rest so they are 110 per cent for the next competition.

"We just want to win as many trophies as possible, for me personally I haven't won the Champions League so maybe that one would be a little bit more special, but I would prefer us to win everything."

Hazard is yet to represent Chelsea this season due to injury, but the attacker has made his comeback on international duty with Belgium.
