Olivier Giroud says that Chelsea can challenge for the Premier League title thanks to their summer signings.
The Blues have made a number of high-profile captures this summer, most recently bringing in Thiago Silva on a free transfer following his PSG departure.
With the likes of Ben Chilwell, Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech having also signed up and Kai Havertz nearing a move to Stamford Bridge, it has been a productive summer for the Blues.
Chelsea's transfer business has left Giroud impressed with the ambition that the club are showing.
Speaking on international duty with France, the striker said he was impressed that the Blues had managed to land a player of Silva's calibre.
Whilst the veteran Brazilian defender will be playing in English football for the first time, Giroud backed his new teammate to adapt to his surroundings quickly.
Giroud told Get French Football: "He is clearly a player who can bring us his experience, his journey, his leadership.
"I think that the coach brought him to Chelsea for that, to help the youngsters and of course for his qualities which are still the same even if like me he is getting a bit older.
"But I am certain that he will bring us a lot.
"It is a new league, so he will be discovering that, but I am sure that he will adapt very quickly.
"We have a lot of ambitions this year with the signings and I hope that we will be able to get tangled in a race for the title."
