Legendary striker tells Timo Werner what to do to end his goal drought at Chelsea

Premier League record scorer Alan Shearer has shared some advice that could help Chelsea end star signing Timo Werner’s goal drought.

Shearer believes Werner should take Jorginho’s place as the team’s penalty taker and insists he needs to work harder in training.

The Newcastle legend told The Athletic: “If I was Werner, I would be straining for the ball every time Chelsea are awarded a penalty.

“It’s such a great opportunity to get up and running again. You’d be amazed what it does to you, that feeling of seeing the ball hit the net. You grow two feet taller instantly.

“On the training pitch, I’d be doubling down on work. I would get someone to knock balls into me from little angles, just behind the goal. I’d stand five or six yards out and just roll shots into an empty net.

“Maybe that sounds simplistic, but I’d do it time and time again, just to build my confidence up. Then I’d bring in a keeper — a first-teamer wouldn’t do it, so I’d rope in someone from the youth team — and do the same thing.”
