César Azpilicueta has subsidized new recruits Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech to borrow a march to the new Premier League season.
German striker Werner left the Champions League crusade with RB Leipzig to sign for Chelsea last month, aiming to be a goalscorer at the start of England’s new season.
Ziyech was able to sign for Chelsea from Ajax after a break, as the Dutch season was cancelled at the end of April.

Les Bleus’ two new offensive stars have already spent several weeks with their new teammates, leaving Chelsea captain Azpilicueta inspired and excited by their impact.
“Both have proven their quality in recent weeks,” Azpilicueta said.
“The faster and less difficult they adapt to the Premier League, the better for everyone, so it’s great to have them with the organization for a few weeks at the end of the season.
“They’re already incorporated and they know everyone, so it’s a wonderful time for that and now we’re all ahead of seeing them on the field.”
Frank Lampard’s Chelsea review is expected to continue at high speed this summer, and German midfielder Kai Havertz is expected to move from Bayer Leverkusen.

Ben Chilwell of Leicester and Declan Rice of West Ham are other long-term goals, and the hiring of a new goalkeeper is being considered.
Chelsea’s tough defence proved that Blues Lampard’s Achilles heel was the first season at the helm at Stamford Bridge.
Western Londoners have controlled to secure a fourth position in the Premier League and a Champions League standings, but Azpilicueta is certainly where the Blues want to improve.
“The story of many games this season is that we haven’t been clinical in the pits,” Azpilicueta told Chelsea’s official website.
“In offensive rule we missed opportunities, but I think the big challenge was that we played well but we weren’t strong enough on our surface.
“I think of the offensive and defensive stages as a team and as a unit we know that we have to keep improving in the back.
“We have to reduce the number of goals conceded if we need to close the hole because that’s a big difference.
“I’m sure we’re going to work hard to close the hole and get closer to the wisest next season.”
