Chelsea are getting themselves ready to fight in what promises to be a thrilling 2019/20 Premier League campaign.

The Blues have recruited heavily in the lead-up to the new season and could be the ones to watch to chase down Liverpool for their crown.

Frank Lampard has welcomed five major signings to the club already, with Kai Havertz looking likely to be the sixth through the door any day now.

With their first match of 2020/21 in sight, the manager has highlighted who has impressed him during Chelsea's pre-season. One man who will definitely have the spotlight on him once the new term starts is Timo Werner. Luckily for him, he has already hit the ground running for the Blues.

Lampard has given a glowing review of the German's performance against Brighton, which saw him find the back of the net just four minutes into the game (via Sofascore).

"I thought Timo was really sharp and bright," the 42-year-old told The Express. "He got his goal really early in the game, he showed some of the qualities that I know very well he has so I am very excited about having him in the squad."

Werner joined Chelsea in a move that stunned the masses. After months of heavy speculation over joining Liverpool, and the player himself even admitting he was proud to be linked to the Reds, the forward put pen to paper for the West Londoners.

The move came shortly after Hakim Ziyech marked Lampard's first signing of the summer. Werner made his move from RB Leipzig for a fee of £45million back in June (via Sky Sports).

"Also on the pitch he can help talk and be the player that he is which means affecting others," Lampard said. "On those levels I hope he brings that.

"I am pretty sure he will with the qualities we know he has, so I am excited for when he joins up."
