Joe Cole makes Timo Werner claim after Chelsea forward's impressive display vs Crystal Palace

Joe Cole believes that Timo Werner has proved he may have a future at Chelsea after a string of encouraging performances. The German forward has struggled to settle at the club since joining from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2020, but is finally starting to deliver for the Blues.

Werner impressed during Chelsea’s FA Cup semi- final victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, providing an assist for Mason Mount’s goal. He also netted in the midweek aggregate defeat to Real Madrid, and notched a brace during last weekend’s 6-0 win over Southampton.

His two strikes against the Saints took his tally of league goals up to three, which show how much he has struggled this term. However, the 26-year-old is thriving playing alongside Kai Havertz and Mount in the Blues’ attack, and Cole is confident that now Werner is providing an end product he may have earned himself another chance at Chelsea after it seemed he was destined for a summer exit.
