Chelsea’s New Signings Ziyech and Werner Poised to Lead Club to Glory, Says Ashley Cole
Former English international footballer Ashley Cole assures that Chelsea’s new recruits, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, are capable of becoming leaders of the club, of raising it to the highest level.
"Although the new players [Ziyech and Werner] who have arrived are young, they have the experience of the Champions League, they were stars of their team," the former Blues defender told ESPN. For Ashley Cole, they can benefit Chelsea with their experience and raise the level of the club thanks to their leadership.
"They have set an example not only in speech, but with their feet, which seems more important to me. People can talk," he continued. For him, it’s easy to talk but when it comes to good performances, that makes the difference. Also, the former Blues defender highlighted the track record of each of them. With Ziyech and Werner, he is convinced that the Blues will be able to improve their position in the Premier League. The club finished fourth last season.
The new season will start for the two new recruits at Brighton on September 14.
