German striker Timo Werner should join Chelsea instead of heading to Liverpool, former Premier League ace Owen Hargreaves claims.
Regarded as one of the finest strikers in the game right now, Werner is heavily tipped to leave RB Leipzig during the transfer window and make that big money move to the Premier League, where a number of teams are reportedly interested in a deal.
However, it seems that Liverpool is the preferred destination for Werner, as the German has come out and stated his desire to make the move to Anfield on a number of occasions, despite the fact they already have the best attack in football right now..
But Hargreaves has opened up and told the little striker, that a move to Chelsea may be the better fit for him, especially as he will not be able to play in front of big man Roberto Firmino. “He is not going to get ahead of [Roberto] Firmino, who is one of my favourite players,” Hargreaves said while co-commentating on Leipzig’s away trip to Mainz.
“With the way United play right now, I could see him there. They are looking for that number nine position too.
“Chelsea might be a good fit. “He is perfect for Liverpool in a way but he is not going to get a start. “He has got all the right attributes but he is not going to play in front of Roberto Firmino.”
Werner is one of the best strikers in the game right now and we would be very lucky to see him make that move to the Premier League, but Hargreaves is right and Liverpool would not be the right move for the lad to make right now.
He needs to join a side that needs a world class striker, a team that does not have a world class attack just yet, and a side that will suit his football, a club like Chelsea.
