Fabregas makes prediction for Chelsea’s Werner & Havertz ahead of next season

Premier League

Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has predicted that Timo Werner and Kai Havertz will be ‘different players’ for the blues next season.

Arsene Wenger backs Chelsea star to be the best player of Euro 2020

Premier League

Arsenal legend Arsene Wenger says Chelsea forward Timo Werner will be the favourite player to win the Euro 2020 player of the tournament. The German star joined Chelsea from RB Leipzig for £47m last summer and helped his new team to Champions League glory and to fourth position in the Premier League. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Werner notched 12 goals and 15 assists in his debut season in England, but his big misses – including two very presentable opportunities in the Champions League final – have been a major talking point.

I like his movement, but he’s not… we see his conversion rate with the number of chances he has. “He’s not good eno...

Wayne Bridge sends message to Chelsea over Werner with Drogba comparison

Premier League

Former Chelsea player Wayne Bridge has urged Timo Werner to take inspiration from Didier Drogba after his mixed start to life at Stamford Bridge. Werner is currently Chelsea’s joint-top scorer in all competitions this season, tied with Tammy Abraham on 12 as he approaches the end of his first campaign at the London club. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But the Germany international has been guilty of missing a number of big chances for Chelsea throughout the campaign. With Abraham’s future also in doubt, the blues are reportedly looking to sign a more reliable centre-forward this summer window, with Erling Haaland and Romelu Lukaku linked with moves to the club. Despite failing to get a goal, Werner impressed against Leicester on Tuesday with former Ch...

Wayne Bridge hits back at Ian Wright over criticism of ‘lazy’ Timo Werner

Premier League

Former Chelsea defender Wayne Bridge has rubbished claims that Timo Werner is ‘lazy’ after Ian Wright criticised the player after his performance against Manchester City. Although Chelsea came from behind to win at the Etihad on Saturday – potentially getting a huge psychological advantage going into the Champions League final – Werner endured another difficult game. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); He was flagged offside three times in the match, spurning several chances in the process, and former Arsenal player Wright was not impressed. ‘You need to look at the runs he makes. He needs to get back onside. He doesn’t get onside,’ said Wright on Match of the Day. ‘He’s got so much space. For me that’s just lazy. It’s lazy work. He’s running straight offside...

Ian Wright criticise ‘lazy’ Chelsea star despite Tuchel praise

Premier League

Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Timo Werner’s habit of straying offside is down to his laziness and says once he sorts it out, he will become more prolific in front of goal. Werner has been frustrating to watch for Chelsea supporters at times this campaign. Not only has he struggled in front of goal since his arrival from RB Leipzig but the German is regularly caught in offside positions. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This was evident last week, with two goals ruled out for offside against Man City on Saturday and another chalked off during the Champions League victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday. Werner has improved in recent weeks and has been helping create goals for his team-mates, with his run and cross on Saturday evening creating the match-w...

Raheem Sterling gave Man City a first-half lead, while Sergio Aguero wasted the chance to put the hosts even further clear before halftime as his Panenka penalty was saved by Edouard Mendy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Chelsea showed significant improvement in the second half of the game and finally equalised through Hakim Ziyech. Werner then provided the blues with the winning goal as his low cross was met by Marcos Alonso, who’s finish looped over City goalkeeper - Ederson.
