Timo Werner has revealed he has already discussed with Frank Lampard about how Chelsea are going to catch Manchester City and Liverpool.
The 24-year-old was signed from RB Leipzig this summer to bring goals to Lampard's side.
And the German has been working with Lampard towards bridging the gap with the Premier League's two dominant clubs.
"The work with the manager recently has been really good," Werner told the club's website.
"He's been showing and explaining to the whole team, not just me, what we can do on the pitch and how to improve on last season.
"He's been great to work with and he's been discussing his plans for the future, and how we want to battle with teams like Man City and Liverpool.
"I think Chelsea is a big club and with this team that we have, I think we can reach a new level.
"We have some very good players here and the manager is there to show us the way, and help us improve. We've worked a lot on tactical things, as well as our strength and fitness, to make sure we are ready for the start of the season."
