‘Instinctive’ Werner compared to Hazard as Chelsea legend Hudson wants German ‘left to roam’

Timo Werner is an “instinctive” talent in the Eden Hazard mould, says Chelsea legend Alan Hudson, with the German forward expected to thrive in the roaming role that the superstar Belgian once filled.

The Blues invested heavily in attacking talent during the summer transfer window. Hakim Ziyech and Kai Havertz have been added, while Werner is being asked to provide end product.

He has fared admirably during the early weeks of his time in England, with eight goals in 13 appearances. There is the promise of more to come from the 24-year-old as he continues to find his feet at Stamford Bridge.
