Chelsea ace Timo Werner insists he'll be happy to welcome Romelu Lukaku to Stamford Bridge.

Werner is confident he and the departing Inter Milan striker can work together.

"He's probably one of the best three strikers in the world at the moment, no question," Werner told Sky Sports.

"I don't think we need to say too much about him. He's a world-class striker who would benefit any team.

"I certainly think at Leipzig it always helped me having a big striker alongside me.

"I think that's always good because I'm not the biggest and when you play on your own up front you obviously always have the attention of one or two brawny defenders.

"It's a good new weapon to have in our game that if you play a long ball, he'll hold it up and then the fast players around him can set off. I think that's good for any team."
