Branislav Ivanovic insists the signings of Willian and Samuel Eto'o can banish concerns about a lack of firepower at Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho's side are third in the Premier League after a 3-1 win at Norwich.
But the west Londoners are yet to see any of their strikers score in the top-flight this term.
Oscar, Eden Hazard and Willian were on target at Carrow Road.
Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku continues to score for Everton after his loan switch, meanwhile, and already has four goals for the Merseysiders.
But Serbian defender Ivanovic has been very impressed with new £32million ace Willian and three-time European Cup winner Eto'o, who came on as substitutes on Sunday.
Ivanovic said: "Both guys add fantastic quality. Willian showed he can improve and he can impress all the guys more, and we expect a lot from him.
"His goal is very important for him, for confidence and for motivation.
"Eto'o is a guy who is still new in our team, in our squad, and we have tried to help him to settle as quickly as possible.
"I think we have a good enough squad; we have the quality on the side and we will try to do our best. We have a lot of games, we have a big enough squad, and of course it is very hard to stay in the top level physically and mentally all the season."

 With the likes of Willian and Eto'o available as impact substitutes, Ivanovic believes Chelsea possess numerous dangerous options.
He added: "We always have that on the bench."
But the versatile defender is not getting complacent after predicting a difficult, tense title race with a busy period looming after this international break.
Ivanovic said: "When we're back from the national teams, we have the very tight schedule of games.
"I think we have to work very hard to be top, and use all the squad for these kind of games that are coming up for us.
"This year is going to be a very tough, difficult league. Every team will have a bad period and a good period. The important thing is, in the bad period, to take the points and to stay up there."
