Chelsea are close to completing the signing of Timo Werner from RB Leipzig.
The 24 year old German international is considered one of the most talented and dangerous attackers anywhere in Europe.
Many have wondered how the expected arrival of Werner will affect Tammy Abraham’s place in the team.
The Athletic claim Chelsea boss Frank Lampard had no discussion with Abraham about Chelsea’s decision to move for Werner before the deal was agreed and then leaked into the public domain.
The report claims Lampard expects the news of Werner’s signing to push Abraham to achieve more, which is good for Chelsea.
Despite the expected arrival of Werner, Lampard reportedly still considers Abraham central to the Chelsea team he is building.
