Frank Lampard has warned his Chelsea kids they need to go up a level to compete with the likes of Timo Werner. Germany star Werner sealed a £47.5m switch from Leipzig this week and Lampard believes he is set to tear up the Premier League.

England striker Tammy Abraham, who has 13 goals this season, looks most at risk from Werner’s arrival.But Lampard said: “I have spoken to Tammy before on the idea of competition and I don’t feel the need to address every player after one comes in.“Tammy has had a really good season for us and he has to sustain and improve on that because at Chelsea we have.
