'Werner needs to brush up on his finishing' - Lampard should drop struggling Chelsea forward, says Cole

 

A former Stamford Bridge forward thinks the Germany international should be given a rest after extending his recent scoreless run at Wolves

Timo Werner "needs to brush up on his finishing", according to Joe Cole, who thinks Frank Lampard should drop the struggling Chelsea forward.

Chelsea snapped Werner up on a five-year contract in June after sealing a £47.5 million ($64m) deal with RB Leipzig, reportedly beating the likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to his signature.

The 24-year-old established himself as one of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe at Red Bull Arena, but has not been quite as effective in the final third during his first few months at Stamford Bridge.
