Newcastle United are hopeful of landing Chelsea misfit Timo Werner before the end of the summer but may encounter issues in their pursuit of the German forward. Werner is poised to leave Stamford Bridge this month as he seeks regular first-team minutes ahead of the Qatar World Cup this winter.
Eddie Howe is desperate to improve his attacking options in the coming weeks and Werner is one of many players Newcastle are considering. Chelsea are open to allowing the 26-year-old to leave on loan with a permanent clause included in any deal.
However, Newcastle are not alone in chasing Werner's signature this summer. Former club RB Leipzig have enquired about a potential reunion at the Red Bull Arena, with Chelsea keen to take highly-rated full-back Josko Gvardiol in return.
