Arsenal title winner Paul Merson says Chelsea need more than Timo Werner in terms of firepower this new season.

Werner scored just 12 goals in all competitions, and just six in the Premier League as Merson expressed his concern.

He said: “In my opinion, Chelsea need a forward. I don't know what the deal is with Erling Haaland, but they need someone who can score 20 Premier League goals a season.

"Timo Werner is a different kind of player – he's a willing runner who works hard for the team and is very unselfish.

"However, he doesn't strike me as someone who can score 20 goals a season, so it'll be interesting to see what happens there."
