EX-CHELSEA PLAYER WANTS ‘NEW DROGBA’

Former Chelsea player Alan Hudson has given up on new signing Timo Werner following his poor form over the course of the last few months. Alan Hudson spoke about Timo Werner in an exclusive interview with media outlet CaughtOffside as he said that a new striker in the form of Didier Drogba or Peter Osgood is needed at the club.

The Blues paid a whooping £52m to sign him from the German club and he has scored nine goals in 25 appearances but his misses in front of goal has generated more noise than the ones he scored.


Timo Werner can look up to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, who made a slow start in West London before going on to attain legendary status at the club. Timo Werner has been tagged a flop by some Chelsea fans despite scoring eight goals in his first 20 games for the club with four of those goals coming in the Premier League but a certain Didier Drogba netted just seven goals in his first 20 Chelsea and the rest they say is history as he was able to recover from that slow start to win a lot of trophies for Chelsea, while playing a starring role.
