"He’s a very good signing," Terry reflected on the arrival of Fabregas, in the new issue of Chelsea Magazine. "He is great on the ball, a great box-to-box player, he scores an awful lot of goals as well and he has got an aggressive streak in him too – I certainly remember that from his Arsenal days.
"I’m sure he is going to fit in really well at Chelsea and do well in the years to come."
Fabregas has been joined at Stamford Bridge by £32m striker Diego Costa, and these new signings have served to boost morale at a time when senior players like Terry have seen fellow veterans Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole depart west London.
"I think we should be very competitive," predicts Terry. "We were close last year, but just unlucky at times.
"With the signings we have made and a couple of younger players who I think will surprise a few people this year, I think this should be a very good year.
"We want to win trophies – that is always the aim from the outset for me."
