Like so many big-money Chelsea forwards before him, Timo Werner has called time on a disappointing stint at Stamford Bridge.
Sure, Werner would lift the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup and European Super Cup with the London outfit, but his record of 10 Premier League goals across two seasons ensured his time in the capital was not an individual success.
He returned to RB Leipzig in a £25.3m deal on Tuesday as Chelsea took a hefty loss on a player who arrived with the reputation as being one of the most prolific forwards in the Bundesliga. Attracting interest from Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, it was seen as something of a coup when the Blues clinched his signature by activating his £47.5m release clause in June 2020.
