According to a report on Bleacher Report, RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has excited talk of a transfer to the Premier League by deciding to take English lessons.
The German international has been in serious demand for a few years now, but has been biding his time waiting for the right moment to make the move.
It looked certain that this summer was going to be the one, but the coronavirus chaos means it will be an interesting window. Teams won’t have their usual cash to spend, and all of their best laid plans will have been collapsing before their eyes.
Chelsea may well be one of the few teams with money to spend, and this whole situation may well play into their hands in the summer, if Leipzig owners Red Bull desperately need to raise cash for example.
It’s still far too early to say how this all will affect anyone, but the fact that the striker is apparently learning English is a definite sign of Werner’s intentions, regardless of the realities of the market this summer.
