Chelsea forward Timo Werner has insisted the Premier League is ‘tougher’ than he expected it to be.

The 24-year-old is still finding his feet following his £47.5 million summer switch from German side RB Leipzig.

Werner has scored four goals in 13 Premier League appearances this season.

He has quickly realised that football in England is a lot more physical than it is in the Bundesliga.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Werner said: “It does matter how you much cost.

“It’s always a bit of pressure when you come to a new club.

“But I think I can handle it very well. It’s not something new.

“The pressure is a little bit higher than the previous years but I think good footballers are the best under pressure and that’s my plan, I can do very well under pressure.

“The Premier League is a little bit different to my old league. It’s tougher than I thought.

“The contact here is harder than in Germany, it’s what I expected but not like this.”
