Rafael Benitez: Fernando Torres will welcome competition at Chelsea

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has at least seen his form improve under Benitez but the Blues are ready to cash in on another powerful striker to compete with the spaniard. Chelsea are ready to break the box and sign Athletico Madrid striker Radamel Falcao and he will be the Russian Billionaire most preferred striker.

So will Fernando Torres be side lined? Rafael Benitez believes Torres will not complain at starting some games from the bench if Chelsea eventually bring in a new striker during the transfer window. With Radamel Falcao, Demba Ba and Andre Schurrle all linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge. Last week we got report from Madrid that the Colombian striker will not be leaving his club in January. So whoever Chelsea brings in, lets see what happens.

Torres has started every Premier League game this season and Chelsea's record £50million signing has seen a marked improvement in his form since Benitez, who managed him at Liverpool, was appointed interim coach. But the arrival of a new striker could see the Spaniard drop to the bench for some matches.

"We are trying to manage the team so when I can change Fernando I will do it," Benitez said. "We will try to manage him and hopefully we can do things properly. "He wants the team winning games and he understands that is the way so he will accept this."
