Timo Werner has hailed compatriot and Chelsea team-mate Kai Havertz as one of the world’s most talented players.

Striker Werner believes Havertz already boasts wisdom beyond his 21 years of age, backing the Blues playmaker to improve rapidly as he settles into life in England.

Werner traded RB Leipzig for Chelsea in a £53million deal in the summer, while his Germany colleague Havertz joined Frank Lampard’s side in a £70m transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.

“That’s not normal. We have so many players, and so many good players. We have to have the goal to come very far in this competition.

“We are not here to say: ‘OK, come into the next round and then we’ll see’. We are here to win in the next year the Champions League.

“And this year is also a good year because everybody in the competition has a lot of games and every team has to think about how can I manage it, who can I play, how many games can they play one game after one game.

“For me I think we have a good chance this year, but also in the next year.

“I said when I arrived here I want to win titles. We want to win titles this year and we are on a good way.

“We learned from each other and we learned how to play together and we get on, we have a good chance to go very far in this competition.”
