Timo Werner has warned RB Leipzig teammate Christopher Nkunku that the pressure he'll soon face at Chelsea is on "another level."
French forward Nkunku, 25, is expected to head to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season to become co-owner Todd Boehly 's latest big-money addition, as Chelsea officials reportedly struck a £61million deal with Leipzig chiefs over the festive period. Werner made the same move in the summer of 2020, leaving Germany to join the Blues for £48m - only to return to Leipzig last July for nearly half of that figure.
The German striker struggled to get to grips with Premier League football and was heavily criticised for his lack of goals and under-par performances, something which Nkunku will hope to avoid when he moves to West London. "Everyone has to have their own experience," Werner affirmed in an interviewer with Bild, opening up on his disappointing two-season stay.
