Arsenal legend Wright reckons Chelsea should sell Werner

Arsenal legend Ian Wright reckons Chelsea should sell Timo Werner.

Wright says he feels sympathy for Werner's plight, but thinks new manager Thomas Tuchel may well be contemplating cutting his losses and letting the player move on at the end of the campaign.

Wright said, "I don't think they'll sell Havertz. He's somebody who I think we've got so much to see from him. So for me, I would keep Havertz.

"But if it carries on as it is with Werner, if you can get a swap deal and get someone else in, there's no way they're not thinking about that.

"I'm thinking that now because they need to get the goalscoring situation right. They've got it right defensively and got it right in front of the defence, they've got everything there so at some stage they will have to make that call on the centre forward.

"I don't think they can wait around. They need that goalscorer to push them to where they want to be."
