'Everyone at Man City knows about Werner' - Gundogan wary of Chelsea threat & says Havertz better than Ballack

Ilkay Gundogan has admitted to being wary of Chelsea's threat next season, insisting "everyone at Manchester City knows about Timo Werner" while also describing Blues target Kai Havertz as a better player than Michael Ballack.

Werner completed a £47.5 million ($62m) move to Chelsea from RB Leipzig in June, after another outstanding season in the Bundesliga.

The 24-year-old notched 34 goals in 45 appearances to help Julian Nagelsmann's side finish third in the German top-flight and secure a place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
