Abraham will need to improve with Werner’s arrival–Lampard

Chelsea striker, Tammy Abraham has welcomed the arrival of Timo Werner to Stamford Bridge, according to manager, Frank Lampard.

Abraham who has found the net 16 times prior to the suspension of the league in March is expected to face competition from Werner next season.

Lampard said he had discussions with Abraham who was pleased to have another option.

“I have spoken to Tammy before about competition,” Lampard told football.london. “I don’t have to address every player if another one comes in. It’s how it has been in the Abramovich era.

“He has been fantastic this season. He has to sustain and improve because at Chelsea we have demands. I am happy to have options and competitions for places.”

The Chelsea manager added: “Timo’s talent, humility and work ethic is one thing that stood out when I talked to him.
