Rio Ferdinand also predicted that Timo Werner "will bang" next season despite not performing upto his standards this year. He said: "Werner will bang. Werner will bang next year. It's his first year in the country. People are forgetting he's settling in – during a pandemic by the way. This isn't the easiest settling-in period. He's just come in, he's still got over 10 goals, he's still got over 10 assists by the way. The most goal involvements at the club."

Chelsea are currently in the finals of the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
