Chelsea's Sturridge: New signings will have to adapt

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge suggests that clubs new signings will need to adapt to life in the Premier League.

The Blues have brought in the likes of Marko Marin, Eden Hazard, Oscar and Thorgan Hazard this summer and Sturridge feels they will take time to adjust although he is confident they will all become quality players for the Southwest London club.

"The club has bought very well. It's important that we have players like [Eden] Hazard who can make something happen out of nothing," he told talkSPORT.

"It's important that we play together on a regular basis so we gain an understanding. When it's a player's first season it is difficult to get into the speed of the Premier League game, so it is going to be a difficult season for them.

"But I'm sure they are good enough individuals and, with the help of the senior players, they will be fine."
