Eden Hazard has insisted that he will cope with the pressure of playing for European champions Chelsea.

The attacking midfielder completed his switch from French side Lille at the beginning of the month, despite reported interest from Manchester United and Manchester City.

Despite costing the Blues an estimated £32m, the 21-year-old believes that he possesses the strength of character to thrive at Stamford Bridge.

"I'm used to pressure from my time at Lille when we were competing for major trophies," he told the club's official website.

"I know it will be difficult here in the sense that Chelsea are a big club used to winning things, so there is a lot more pressure to win more and more trophies.

"But although I am only 21, I am quite experienced and I'm sure I will be able to cope with it."

Hazard has made 28 appearances for the Belgian national side.
