Former Chelsea star says underperforming duo need to step up

Former Chelsea star Mario Melchiot has claimed that Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are in danger of being shipped out of the club this summer.

The pair joined the Blues last summer having impressed in the Bundesliga, but they have struggled to live up to expectations to date.

Melchiot believes that Chelsea are unlikely to remain patient if the two German internationals fail to improve.

“I think shipping them out would be a little bit too harsh, but I definitely think Chelsea should consider it if they don’t start stepping up to the plate,” he told talkSPORT.
