Werner slump attracting Fernando Torres comparisons

Big things were expected from Timo Werner when Chelsea signed him amidst competition from Liverpool and the Manchester clubs. However, the move has not completely gone according to plan. 

Coming off the back of a season that saw him compete with Robert Lewandowski in an extremely close competition for the top scorer award in the Bundesliga, the 24-year-old was expected to have an instant impact at the club, and while the German initially found the back of the net occasionally, the last few games have seen Werner hit the worst goal drought of his career. 

All that said, it must be considered that the current campaign is the German’s first year in England, and it can be daunting to be away from home. Furthermore, the quality of the Premier League is something that few others can match, and it seems like the new environment will take a little bit of time to get fully used to for Werner. 

The player was taken off at half-time during Chelsea’s 3-1 defeat against Arsenal, and the comparisons to Fernando Torres as a ‘flop’ have already started.

While there are mixed opinions regarding El Nino’s time at Chelsea, it must be kept in mind that Werner is only 24 and that it will take a bit of time to get used to the difficulty and the change in style. 

Even during his tenure at Chelsea, Torres managed to score some very important goals for the club whilst also winning their only Champions League trophy till date in 2012.
