It feels slightly ironic that in negotiations with Juventus, Todd Boehly is trying to offload Timo Werner in order to sweeten the potential fee for defender Matthijs de Ligt.
Werner, who arrived with much fanfare over two years ago, is one of a litany of players that have underperformed and not met initial expectations. Part of the issue has been the German's limitations, his specific criteria for success, and his need to play on the counter-attack.
He represents one of few players who offer more questions than answers. For Thomas Tuchel, his options are not expanded, they are drastically limited.
