After his £21million move to Chelsea, David Luiz believes he can get into the Blues' starting back four.
Luiz, a recent addition from Benfica, is aware that competition will be stiff at Stamford Bridge.In quotes referenced by the Sun, he said: "I always knew there would be competition because Chelsea is a big club and you have to be a top player to play here.
"It is a big challenge for me but I have a strong desire to get a place in this group.
"I want to establish myself and learn from my new team-mates to become a better player and have more skills.
"The best league in the world is the Premier League, so I am so happy to be here playing with and against big players.
"All great players want to play against other great players and I hope this is my time."
The Brazilian admitted he sought the advice of compatriots Ramires and Alex before leaving Benfica.
He added: "I talked with Ramires a lot before my transfer and he always said he hoped I would come here.
"He told me it is a special place and he would be happy if I came here.
"Now we can play together again after our year at Benfica together.
"I have also known Alex for a long time. I have a lot of admiration for him.
"I like his football, his personality and obviously we have both played in the national team, so he is somebody who I know well."
The 23-year-old centreback made 72 appearances for Benfica, scoring three goals in the process.
