Chelsea target Timo Werner may have stayed at RB Leipzig in January, but he has dropped a big hint that he is keen on a Premier League move this summer.
CHELSEA served their transfer ban during the summer, appealed it at the beginning of the season and last month found out that they were once again be able to sign a few players in the January transfer window, especially as they may need a replacement for Olivier Giroud.
Giroud has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the past few months as he has shown his unhappiness at not being first choice at Stamford Bridge, with Lampard even admitting that he could let the Frenchman leave the club in the winter window, if he keeps pushing for an exit.
However, despite all the speculation and rumours suggesting that Chelsea were keen to nail down a move for Werner during the January window, and offload Giroud in the process, the Blues could now manage to secure any transfer deals.
But German striker Werner, who is rated as one of the hottest prospects in Europe, has dropped a massive hint that he is keen on a move to the Premier League at the end of the current season, he told Kicker: “I can generally imagine playing abroad one day, although I don’t have any specific club where I want to be.
“I am open for everything. I was over in America for a holiday recently and English football was on all of the time. “That’s an exclamation mark for the Premier League. “But there are also big, famous clubs and it would certainly be fun playing there.”
He would offer the club something different up top and also bring in that factor that CHELSEA will have two strikers who can score goals, not just one. So Lampard may have missed out on his targets during the January window, but the summer should be a totally different story and a number of signings should arrive at the club.
