Ralf Rangnick suggests what went wrong for Timo Werner at Chelsea as RB Leipzig transfer close

Former Man United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has insisted that soon-to-be new RB Leipzig signing Timo Werner needs to play in a front two to succeed amid his Chelsea transfer failure.

The Blues are on the cusp of clinching a £23.5million transfer windfall from this sale which would equate to a £22million loss from the £47.7million paid two years ago. Werner's departure is expected to trigger a new attacking incoming amid links to the likes of Benjamin Sesko, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wilfried Zaha and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with the last of the quartet the most likely to happen currently, according to reports.

When all the dust has settled on this summer's transfer window, certain figures at the club will reflect on just where it went wrong with Werner. Ex-Man United interim manager Rangnick has suggested a few things RB Leipzig need to do which Chelsea didn't to unlock the Bundesliga version of Werner once more.
