RB Leipzig forward Yussuf Poulsen believes Timo Werner will be a big hit with Chelsea but he has called for patience with his former team-mate.

After months of transfer speculation regarding the young man, who was heavily tipped to sign with Premier League Champions Liverpool, it was us that activated that clause and got a deal done.

Frank Lampard knew that he needed to add some more goals to this  attack and after seeing Werner net an impressive 34 goals in just 45 games last season, the Blues made sure to get the deal done quickly.

Blues fans will hope that Werner can have a similar impact at Stamford Bridge in 2020-21, as Frank Lampard’s side look to close the gap on Liverpool and City at the top of the Premier League.

But despite all the excitement surrounding Werner, Poulsen expects the German striker to take a bit longer to express his true potential on the field once the new season kicks off in September.

‘I think Timo will be a great striker in the Premier League over the next few years,’ said the Denmark international in an interview with the Sport-Informations-Dienst.

‘Of course, he has to get to know his team-mates and the league first; you can’t show all your qualities right away. But that will come in time.’

Werner enjoyed a career-best season in the Bundesliga in 2019/20, and there are already big expectations on his head, and he hasnt even kicked a ball.
