Arnesen backs Torres to inspire youngsters
Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen believes the arrival of Fernando Torres can inspire Chelsea's young players.
Torres, a £50million signing from Liverpool, failed to sparkle on his debut against his former club on Sunday.
However, Arnesen claims the presence of the Spain striker can only be good news all round for the Stamford Bridge club.
The Dane explained on BBC Radio Five Live: "If you can get one of the best strikers in the world to the club everyone is happy. This can give inspiration - a European and world champion, one of the greatest strikers in the world.
"Young players need to have examples, stars. They think `I can maybe train with Torres' and they've trained with (Didier) Drogba for seven years. All the young players can learn a lot from them and will do it every day. I only see that as a plus.
"Because we bring players in, it doesn't close the door for others. We have to make sure the other boys are good enough when the time is right."
