Gianfranco Zola said he liked Chelsea with Timo Werner before signing Romelu Lukaku last summer. The Belgian international returned to Chelsea from Inter Milan for £97.5m.
Speaking on Amazon Prime via Tuttomercatoweb, the former Blue hinted that Timo Werner could do more without Lukaku in the team, “Chelsea played an extraordinary season last year, but they always paid attention to the fact that they were missing a goalscorer. Werner and Lukaku are valued at £135m combined on Transfermarkt.
“They often created scoring chances, and in some games, they were penalised enough. Lukaku arrives to fill that shortcoming, but I liked Chelsea as they were.
