Chelsea striker Timo Werner says there is much more to come from him after admitting he has never experienced a goal drought like this season.

Werner, a £53m signing from RB Leipzig last summer, went 14 Premier League games without scoring between November and February.

"It was tough for me because I want to help the team," Germany striker Werner told BBC Sport.

"I want to score, it's in my nature, I am a striker."

Werner, who is set to face Liverpool at Anfield on Thursday, has managed five top-flight goals in 25 appearances since moving to Stamford Bridge.

But he said he has learned a lot from his debut season in England and is confident of making a bigger contribution in terms of goals in 2021-22.

"I never had it in my career before," he added when asked about the goal drought.

"You can always learn more from the bad situations. I learned to trust in myself, to give everything on the pitch, not only think about goals and fight for the team.

"Now I hope this period is gone and I score a few more goals until the end of the season."
