Salomon Kalou is relishing being back at Chelsea following his summer break, and expects to win more silverware [LNB] Kalou, who has started his pre-season preparation following three weeks off after his World Cup campaign with Ivory Coast, joins his team-mates as they travel to Germany on Saturday. [LNB]And the 24-year-old, who arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2006, has enjoyed linking back up with his colleagues in training following the Blues' Premier League and FA Cup Double last season. [LNB]"We haven't been with the team for two-and-a-half months so you long to come back and catch up with the other players," Kalou told Chelsea's official website. [LNB]"After we won the Double, we never really got the time to be together so we didn't have the time to enjoy more the winning so it's good to be back with the players."[LNB]Kalou believes Chelsea have a squad more than capable of challenging for the Champions League trophy this term as they look to complete their silverware collection. [LNB]He added: "I believe that it can be a great season for us again if we can keep everyone fit; we have the team to do better than last year by winning the Champions League because it's very important everyone is hoping that the club win that trophy."[LNB]The forward, who netted 12 goals last season, is looking to better his scoring rate as well as establishing himself as a regular starter this term. [LNB]"I want to score more goals than last year, between 15 and 20, and I think my personal goal is to be an important player for the team like in the end of last season and to continue at that level and play well for the team," he said. [LNB]Kalou's other hope for the season is to see team-mate Jose Bosingwa return to action after being ruled out with a knee injury since last October. [LNB]"He hasn't played for so long," added Kalou. [LNB]"We want to see him back on the pitch doing his thing, and he will be like a new signing because it is such a long time since he played."
