Thomas Tuchel wants Timo Werner to stay.
According to Eurosport, Timo Werner is intent on proving himself at Chelsea after a difficult debut season, thus complicating the club’s pursuit of Erling Haaland.
Werner arrived at Chelsea last summer in a big-money deal from RB Leipzig. The German international’s arrival came with a lot of hopes and expectations after his stunning goal-scoring exploits over the years with the Bundesliga outfit.
However, things did not work out as per plans as Werner struggled to find the back of the net on a consistent basis. While his all-round game improved with time, the 25-year-old was found wanting when needed to put away chances, missing several gilt-edged chances along the way.
As a result, Chelsea have entered the transfer market for yet another new centre-forward, with Erling Haaland emerging as a top target. The Norwegian has enjoyed a brilliant eighteen-month stint with the Black and Yellows and has proven himself to be ready for a step up.
Given his monstrous transfer valuation, though, Chelsea are hoping to offer Werner to Dortmund as part of a player-plus-cash deal. Any such move is likely to fall through because of Werner’s stance on his future. (h/t Eurosport)
The report claims that the former RB Leipzig superstar is intent on turning things around at Chelsea and proving himself as a success at the Bridge. Furthermore, the striker is not interested in signing for Dortmund, as he views it as a step-down. The only German club he would be open to moving is Bayern Munich.
Werner’s goalscoring capabilities from his time at Leipzig are well-known. Offloading him hastily might not be the best move on Chelsea’s part. The German international did show some positives under Thomas Tuchel and can reach the top if he is able to rediscover his confidence.
