John Terry has warned Chelsea's Premier League rivals to be very afraid following the champions' record-breaking swoop for Fernando Torres and David Luiz.

Chelsea captain Terry said: "To sign Torres and Luiz is a huge statement. No-one is getting too carried away but everyone is upbeat.

"It sets a massive tone. From a club point of view, reading things like the Bolton quotes that they didn't fear Chelsea any more ufffd we say don't fear us at your peril."

Terry is relieved finally to be on the same side as Torres, who was the scourge of Chelsea while the striker was at Anfield.

"He is one of the strongest out there. His pace is frightening, his heading is unbelievable for his height and his finishing is top draw, as we have seen against us a few times." he said.

Torres and Luiz were signed late on transfer deadline day and did not feature in Chelsea's 4-2 win against Sunderland on Teusday night.

Both will be available for Sunday's mouthwatering clash with Torres' former club Liverpool.
