(Reuters) - New signing Timo Werner should not be compared to former Chelsea striker Fernando Torres and the Germany forward must be given the best environment to flourish at the London club, manager Frank Lampard said on Monday.

Werner, who joined Chelsea from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig in the close season for around 50 million euros ($60.34 million), has not scored in his last 10 Premier League appearances.
