The German forward might have scored the lone goal that helped Chelsea to beat London rivals West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday, but Hargreaves was not impressed with his performance.
Prior to his 43rd minute goal, Werner was Chelsea’s weak link in attack as he stuttered many forward plays. The former RB Leipzig man also missed a lot of opportunities against the Hammers.
The 25-year-old has now scored six Premier League goals in 31 outings and just his second goal in 23 games. Hargreaves says Werner must start taking his chances or the West Londoners could bring in another attacker this summer.
“He looks like he is short of confidence – 31 appearances only six goals. In Germany it was one a game at least … he is making decisions you wouldn’t normally see (from him),” said Hargreaves as per Optus Sport.
“It is a really important five or six games because if he keeps missing some of these chances, Chelsea are going to go buy a big hitter.
“Tammy Abraham is their top scorer in all competitions and … he barely plays right now.
“If Chelsea want to go to the next level, they need someone with big numbers.”
