“I don’t think Chelsea need to sign any players in January”

“The thing for me is to see how N’Golo Kante is going to do comparing other seasons”

“Where he’s struggling and he’s come back and shown his strength,”

“Jorginho and Kovacic are fantastic players when they have the ball and they do their best”

“When they defend but there is no comparison to N’Golo Kante.”

Newcastle United are in “regular” contact with Timo Werner‘s representatives over a move away from Chelsea

Werner has been strongly linked with a move away from the Blues recently and the Magpies

Those who were taken over for over £300million last week, have now emerged as potential suitors for the 25-year-old forward.

The Germany international has started just three of Chelsea’s seven Premier League matches so far this season.

According to recent reports, Werner is considering his future at the Blues, with Romelu Lukaku now being Thomas Tuchel ‘s go-to man in attack.
