Torres fires goal warning

FERNANDO TORRES has declared the arrival of good friend Juan Mata and the return of Daniel Sturridge will finally see him justify his £50 million (€58m) price tag at Chelsea.

Torres admits he has been shocked by his run of one goal in 27 games for club and country since his January move from Liverpool.

But the striker pinned part of the blame for his drought on the lack of pace of Chelsea’s “older” players and believes the signing of Spain team-mate Mata and the return from a loan spell — and a three-match ban — of Sturridge will help him regain top form.
