Schurrle: We have the quality

Oscar is relishing his midfield partnership with summer signing Cesc Fabregas following Chelsea's flying start to the Premier League season.

Fabregas joined Jose Mourinho's side in a £27 million switch from Barcelona and Oscar has quickly struck up an understanding with the former Arsenal midfielder with Chelsea taking maximum points from their first three games.

"Maybe it's the way Fabregas plays," Oscar told Chelsea's official magazine. "He plays very similarly to me, but we have worked very well together in the first games and we also get on very well.

"He came into the team and immediately fitted in very well.

"Coming deeper is something I've always done, but it is also something the manager likes me to do. In the same way, Fabregas and Willian also do it.

"We have been switching positions a lot and we hope to perfect that as the season goes on because it has been working very well for the team.

"I like to make space and I like to have the ball at my feet. If I don't have the ball, I look to take it and to always keep moving forward. I never give up until I find a way for us to win."

Chelsea have scored 11 goals already in their march to the top of the table with victories over Burnley, Leicester and Everton and Oscar is targeting another three points against Swansea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

"We are looking very good at the moment," Oscar added.

"All the players are at a high level, but now we have to continue playing well because every one of us wants to win the Premier League this season."
