Timo Werner has admitted to "struggling" in recent weeks at Chelsea, having underestimated the challenge of the Premier League.

Star striker Werner has now gone eight games without a goal in all competitions for Chelsea, having missed several golden opportunities in that drought.

The 24-year-old has revealed that the gruelling schedule of a game every three days has started to take its toll, as the summer arrival from RB Leipzig continues to meet his Stamford Bridge test.

"It does matter how much you cost," Werner told Chelsea's official club website.

"It's always a bit of pressure when you come to a new club and you want to score on your own but now you also want to score for your new team-mates, for your club.

"You have to score and (it is) the pressure you have in every new club, but I think I can handle it very well because I got the same pressure at my old club and everybody wanted me to score.

"It's not something new to me but now it's a new ground from where I've been so its new people and new players around me.

"So the pressure is a little bit higher than the last years but I think good footballers are the best under pressure and that's my plan, I can do very well under pressure."
