Timo Werner: I joined Chelsea to improve myself

Chelsea signing Timo Werner says he's made the move to England to improve his football.

The former RB Leipzig ace has had his first week of training with Chelsea.

"The first day is always a little bit crazy because you don't know everybody so much," he told chelseafc.com, "and not only the team, it is always a pleasure to meet the team behind the team the first time and now I am very happy and excited to meet them.

"The style of the Premier League is very fast and my speciality is that I am really fast so I think it is perfect for me to play here. It is another league in another country so I can improve myself to bring it to another level, so those are the reasons I come to the Premier League and to Chelsea.

"I'll try to score as much goals as I can for Chelsea, that is the big reason why they bought me, to bring the goals I scored in Leipzig here, and maybe score more goals than there."
