Werner impressed by ex-Chelsea prospect Musiala: He's gone through roof in last 6 months

Chelsea striker Timo Werner says Bayern Munich attacker Jamal Musiala is set for a big career.

The pair are in the same Germany squad with the teenager impressing in Bayern Munich's first-team.

Musiala was on Chelsea's books for eight years from 2011 and the Blues were desperate to retain him before he left for Munich.

He was on hand to provide an assist for Werner as Germany saw off Leichtenstein 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier.

"Jamal's gone through the roof in the last six months; he's a great player and has a huge future," he said.

"Jamal just goes out on the pitch, plays his game and has fun. We're happy to have him with us. Maybe we, other players, should take a leaf out of his book."
