Dixon confident Chelsea striker Torres can handle price-tag

Chelsea hero Kerry Dixon has no doubts Fernando Torres will live up to his £50 million price-tag.

Dixon admits the price-tag could weigh down the Spaniard.

He told talkSPORT: "I still believe Torres is a class act and he will come good.

"The biggest pressure on him is the price tag and the British transfer record fee. All eyes are on him and it will take time. He's got to fit his style into the team and the team has to adjust to him.

"He's only 26 and the best is yet to come, and I'm pretty sure Chelsea fans will see the best of Torres, and the best of this team under Carlo Ancelotti."
