Chelsea striker Timo Werner insists he can the scrutiny coming his way.

The German insists it is something he has become used to and he is more concerned about performing well for his manager and team-mates at Chelsea.

"It does matter how much you cost," he said. "It's always a bit of pressure when you come to a new club and you want to score by your own but now you also want to score for your new team-mates, for your club.

"You have to score and the pressure you have in every new club, but I think I can handle it very well because I got the same pressure at my old club and everybody wanted me to score. It's not something new to me but now it's a new ground from where I've been so its new people and new players around me.

"So the pressure is a little bit higher than the last years but I think good footballers are the best under pressure and that's my plan, I can do very well under pressure."

Fellow German international Toni Rudiger has been a particularly big help to Werner so far, not just in football but off the pitch too.

"I think it's always very important when you come into a new country and you have someone in your club who can speak your language. It makes it much easier to have a guy who can speak German in the club who can help you, not just in the club but also when you have to pay bills or for the gas or electrics or something like that. He helped me a lot in these things and for me it was perfect that he was here."
