According to METRO, Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Timo Werner from Red Bull Leipzig, but director Marina Granovskaia had initially been advocating a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho.
Chelsea had been ramping up their efforts to sign the former Manchester City winger back in January before Frank Lampard aired his concerns and convinced Granovskaia to look elsewhere.
According to Duncan Castles, speaking on his Transfer Window podcast, the Chelsea manager believed there was no need to spend so heavily on a wide player
Moreover, Lampard reportedly felt smashing the club transfer record would attract unnecessary attention and potentially place too much pressure on himself and the player.
In-conclusion, Frank Lampard has already spend Sancho transfer budget wisely by signing Hakim Ziyech and also already pay the release clause for Timo Werner in total of Jadon Sancho fee..Guys seems Lampard really knows what he’s doing. More to come am sure.
