Timo Werner's Premier League Profile
Timo Werner joined Chelsea F.C. from RB Leipzig in 2020 after a memorable time at the German club, which made him one of the hottest transfer targets back then. He came at Chelsea on the bank of a huge reputation and delivered it perfectly with a second UEFA Champions League for the club but not by scoring goals, but with his astonishing off-the-ball movement and incisive runs into the oppositions' half that created spaces in the defence and split the man marking of the defenders. However, such qualities didn't compensate enough for the torrid time the German had in front of goal as he merely managed 10 goals in 56 appearances across two seasons at the Stamford Bridge.
