Timo Werner transfer trick can give Chelsea advantage over PSG for £13m Jules Kounde alternative

Chelsea are in a situation where their team is not as complete as many believed it would be at this stage of the transfer window. The Blues are still in the process of a rebuild and it could be about to get even more complicated, as Timo Werner has become the latest Chelsea striker to want out of the club since the departure of Romelu Lukaku.

The Germany forward wants to have more opportunities to play regularly ahead of the World Cup in Qatar later in this year. As it stands, he is a Thomas Tuchel player, but that could change before the end of the season and RB Leipzig could play a part in this.

Tuchel was not afraid to call out those who want to leave the club in his post-match conference after Chelsea's defeat to Arsenal. He accused some of his players of being more focused on departing than actually playing. It's likely that Werner is one of those referred to, especially after admitting that his Stamford Bridge future is uncertain.
