The ex-Barcelona forward is looking forward to a new test at Stamford Bridge after starring on his Blues debut, according to the Premier League champions' first-choice left-back
New signing Pedro has "changed the dynamics" at Chelsea, says compatriot Cesar Azpilicueta, who has also called upon the Premier League champions to improve their form after a difficult start to the 2015-16 season.
The former Barcelona forward starred on his Blues debut with a goal in Sunday's 3-2 win at West Brom to help Jose Mourinho's side to record their first win of the campaign.
Chelsea have four points from a possible nine this term after conceding seven goals and collecting two red cards already but Azpilicueta - who also scored his first league goal in England at the Hawthorns - is confident that his side will be fighting for the title with Pedro.
"It is clear that [Pedro] personally wanted to start a new adventure, another experience," Azpilicueta told Cadena SER. "Pedro decided to come to a team from a different country and is very happy with a move to Chelsea.
"In a team like Chelsea, [to] get a point from a possible six, no-one is happy. We wanted to change the dynamics. Against West Brom we got three very important points that will give us confidence going to face the next matches and to rectify this bad start."
Azpilicueta – who initially joined Chelsea as a right-back – faces competition in his current left-back slot from new signing Baba Rahman but is working hard to retain his first-team role.
"From the beginning, Mourinho has shown me his trust and I tried to return it in every practice and every game," he added. "At the end of the day, all we fight for is to win titles."
