Chelsea could look to sell Timo Werner next season

According to Football Insider (h/t Daily Star), Chelsea forward Timo Werner could be facing an exit from the club next season. Werner’s failure to perform at prolific levels have been cited as the reason for that thinking.

Werner was a big-money signing from Leipzig last summer and was expected to continue his goal-scoring exploits in England. However, he again failed to score on Monday night against Everton and has just one goal to show in the last 18 league games.

He will feel a bit hard done by the Liverpool game as his splendid effort was ruled out offside by the finest of margins. Werner got more opportunities to get on the scoresheet during that game as well as against Everton but failed to do so.

It has been claimed that Werner could be allowed to return to Germany as early as next season or the season after that. Now with Chelsea tipped to move for the prolific Erling Haaland, Werner could further slip down the pecking order.

While Werner seems to retain the trust of Thomas Tuchel and has performed well in recent games, he still does not have the goals to show for those efforts.

Given the talent Werner has, it would be rather premature to give up on him so easily. However, the situation will need sorting soon before the club pulls the plug on Werner.
