Chelsea fullback ​James insists Werner working hard for goals: His time is coming

Chelsea right back Reece James has no doubt Timo Werner will come good for the club.

The German attacker came with a huge reputation in the summer after his impressive displays with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.

After starting brightly, he has struggled for goals in the Premier League.

But James has a lot of confidence in the striker.

He told the club website: "His time is coming. He is working very hard and he was involved in two goals so it is not like he is not contributing. Two of his contributions helped get the win.

"In football, sometimes mistakes and strange things happen but we reacted well [to the own-goal equaliser] and we managed to get a penalty.

"We knew coming to Sheffield United was going to be a tough game. Last year they showed they are a very strong team and we knew we had to give 100 per cent to come away with the win."
