Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho delighted with desire shown by Samuel Eto'o and Willian

Jose Mourinho believes the signings of Anzhi Makhachkala duo Willian and Samuel Eto’o will make a big difference to Chelsea’s title hopes.

He feels both have arrived at Stamford Bridge with a point to prove and added: “Samuel is a very experienced striker as everybody knows and a winner.

“He's a guy who in spite of winning everything, he never lost his desire to win. He comes to England with the same objective with which I went to Spain - he wants to be the first one to win the Spanish, the Italian and the English league as a player. He always wanted to play in the Premier League so he comes with big motivation.

“He is different from (Fernando) Torres; Torres is different from (Demba) Ba and Ba is different from Eto'o, so we have in these three strikers experience and different qualities. Hopefully it goes well.

“Willian is a creative player and for his qualities, I think he needs a bit of time to express himself. He is very creative, fast and dynamic and can play in all three positions behind the striker.

“Again he is a kid that wanted very much to play for Chelsea and he was too many years in Ukraine and in Russia and now he has his first chance to be in a big championship.

“We have that (balance in the squad). We have two players per position, with three strikers and an extra midfield player. Every position is covered and we are very happy with what we have.”
