Chelsea Captain Azpilicueta sends very exciting Werner and Ziyech message to the fans

Chelsea Captain Cesar Azpilicueta has backed new recruits Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech to steal a march on the new Premier League season.

Germany striker Werner relinquished the delayed Champions League campaign with RB Leipzig to join us last month, in a bid to be in sharp goalscoring form by the start of the new English term, while Ziyech was able to link up from Ajax after a break given the Dutch season was cancelled.

The two players have shone for their respective clubs over the past few seasons and are easily regarded as two of the very best players in their positions, with Werner netting a stunning 34 goals last season.

Both the Blues’ new attacking stars have already spent several weeks training with their new team-mates, leaving  skipper Azpilicueta impressed – and excited about their impact.

“Both of them have shown their quality in training in these past couple of weeks,” said Azpilicueta.

“We have seen their potential offensively, the way they can create chances and the way they can score goals so they are big additions to the team.

“The quicker and easier they can adapt to the Premier League, the better it will be for everybody so it was good to have them with the group for a few weeks at the end of the season.

“They are already integrated and know everybody so it’s been a very good time for that and now we’re all looking forward to seeing them on the pitch.”
