Chelsea newcomer Marko Marin has made the league his number one priority as he gets ready for his first season in English football.

The 23-year-old playmaker expects his new club to challenge for trophies on all fronts.

"If you play for such a team as Chelsea you want to win trophies, like last year with the Champions League and the FA Cup," Marin said.

"The Premier League I think is the best league in the world and to win this, that is my aim."

Marin joined his new side for pre-season training this week and wants to have an instant impact at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "I think I am an offensive player, more a winger, so I hope I can give a lot of assists to strikers so they score a lot of goals and they help the team."

Chelsea face Manchester City in the Community Shield at Villa Park on August 12.
