EXCLUSIVE: 'It’s crazy I am here with them now': Timo Werner idolised Chelsea stars Frank Lampard, Petr Cech and Ashley Cole after watching them in the Champions League as a boy

Chelsea striker Timo Werner has admitted in an exclusive video that he idolised club 'legends' Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Didier Drogba and Peter Cech from a young age.

Werner says he was unable to watch much of the Premier League as a child due to the lack of air time in Germany, but was blown away by the Chelsea stars in the Champions League.

The 24-year-old - who agreed a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge for £45million - says it's 'crazy' to be at the club with some of them now.
