Former Netherlands striker Youri Mulder feels that Chelsea have landed the perfect player to slot into the team with Hakim Ziyech in the shape of Timo Werner. 

Chelsea are expected to wrap up the signing of Werner from RB Leipzig over the coming days by paying his €55m release clause.  

 



It had been thought that Werner would move to Liverpool, but the Reds refused to meet the financial costs a deal would need and the striker is Stamford Bridge bound.

He will link up with another new signing for 2020/21, with Ziyech already a Chelsea player, and Mulder thinks Werner's arrival suits the former Ajax man. 
 


"He is the ideal player for Ziyech", Mulder said on Ziggo Sport's Paniekvoetbal.



"Chelsea have done well.

"He comes a little from the left, from deep. "
