Former Blue feels Timo Werner is more than just pace

Former Chelsea striker David Speedie has lauded Timo Werner for his ability to use his pace wisely in games. Werner’s pace has troubled teams this season, while his finishing has been pretty good as well.

Speedie feels Werner is smart with his movement and draws the defender in and turn on the afterburners and take advantage of his speed.

“He’s never static, he’s always on the move. And when he is static, it’s for a reason, he slows the defender down and then he’s gone again. He’s a very clever player for his age,” Speedie opined.
