Werner has now revealed the reason for his poor form at Chelsea that has seen him come under heavy criticism.

According to Werner, the Premier League is tougher than he thought.

“The Premier League is a little bit different to my old league that I used to play in,” Werner told Chelsea’s official website.

“I have to say it’s tougher than I thought. The contact here is harder than in Germany, it’s what I expected but not like this.”
