Newcastle United are reportedly in for Chelsea striker Timo Werner after recent comments from the German forward sparked rumours that he could seek a move away from Stamford Bridge. Werner has managed just ten goals in 56 Premier League appearances for Chelsea since moving from RB Leipzig in 2020.
German journalist Christian Falk confirmed that rumours of Newcastle’s interest in the 26-year-old were true. His future with Chelsea has been a strong topic of conversation in the last week, with the Blues searching for a marquee signing at centre-forward, which would likely limit his game time.
Werner, while saying he was happy at his current club, appeared to take a thinly-veiled dig at Thomas Tuchel and back-tracked to a more non-committal stance on Chelsea by saying he could be “happy everywhere”.
