Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is convinced he's improved his game over the last 12 months.

Torres helped his club win the Champions League before landing the golden boot as Spain won Euro 2012.

"I learned so much about myself last season and feel better for that experience now," he said. "I'm playing much more for my club and you can see that I'm starting to score more goals and play better.

"I am a different type of striker than in the past. I created a lot of chances for my team-mates last season and it means my game is more complete at this point in my career. To play in a new Chelsea team and still have something to aim for with Spain is exciting for me."
