Werner will need time to show his best qualities at Chelsea, says former RB Leipzig team-mate Poulsen

Timo Werner should be given time before being expected to show his best form at Chelsea, according to his former RB Leipzig colleague Yussuf Poulsen.

Werner completed a £47.5 million ($59m) switch to the Blues in June, electing to make the transfer before the German club’s Champions League tilt in Lisbon.

He has been working with Frank Lampard’s side for a number of weeks, but the Denmark international says that it will take longer for him to express his true potential on the field.

“I think Timo will be a great striker in the Premier League over the next few years,” Poulsen said in an interview with the Sport-Informations-Dienst (SID).
