Rafael van der Vaart has launched into a scathing assessment of Timo Werner, saying the £53million Chelsea forward has played like a 'blind horse' during his first season with them.
Werner arrived from RB Leipzig with a stellar reputation but has scored just 10 goals in 41 appearances for Chelsea so far this season. That includes only five goals in 29 Premier League outings.
Former Tottenham, Real Madrid and Holland attacking midfielder Van der Vaart was talking about Chelsea's attacking options when he drew the unflattering comparison.
Van der Vaart said he liked Hakim Ziyech, who joined from Ajax last year, and compared the in-form Mason Mount to promising Dutch winger Calvin Stengs.
