Chelsea midfielder Oscar has claimed that the arrival of Cesc Fabregas has taken the team to a new level.

The 27-year-old came to the club from Barcelona in the summer for a fee of around £ 27 million. Being an established international with more than eight years’ experience of playing in the Premier league, Fabregas did not take long to make an impact in this Chelsea team. He has been paired along with Nemanja Matic in a deeper midfield role. He may have scored only two goals in all competitions for his new club, but Fabregas has been directly responsible for 11 goals.

He has also been involved in numerous creation of chances and currently ranks as the best in the Premier League in this regard. Oscar does not appear to be carrying any hangovers from the World Cup duty, as he has also been in imperious form. The Brazilian midfielder reckons that the presence of Fabregas is one of the major reasons behind Chelsea’s great form in the opening 10 matches. The blues maintained their advantage over Manchester City after a 2-1 win over QPR. Unsurprisingly, Fabregas was once again involved in the goal after setting up Oscar for the opening goal of the match.

“Cesc gave a beautiful pass to me. It was perfect for shooting and when the ball came I decided now, I need to shoot.I don’t know if it is my best goal - I need to see it again - but it was a nice goal.But Cesc helps the team so much and not just with the assists. In a game, he helps everyone, with beautiful passes like the one for me in this game.He has come in this year and played so well and I like playing together with him,” said Oscar.
