Chelsea defender, Antonio Rudiger has come out to say that he did his bit to convince Timo Werner to join the club.
Rudiger compared the newly-signed striker to Leicester City star, Jamie Vardy, saying he can be very important for the club.
According to him, Werner is a really big threat to defenders and his pace and positioning will definitely cause problems in England.
He added that his development has been amazing and he is a more confident player now.
His words, “We spoke a lot during the lockdown and he told me he was interested in coming to England. Of course then I did my bit, what I had to do.”
Like everyone, I’m very excited that he’s chosen Chelsea and I’m looking forward to working with him. I’ve known him since he was 17 and he did very good in the past few years. He can be very important for us.”
“He’s a really big threat to defenders,”
“RB Leipzig is a more counter-attacking team but in terms of attacking the defensive line, he’s similar to Vardy. He has a lot of pace and if the defender makes a mistake and loses the ball, then he goes!”
“His development was just ‘wow’. In his first season everything was new for him in men’s football but then he started scoring more goals and of course with that comes confidence. He had very good coaches who believed in him and worked with him.”
