What RB Leipzig give Timo Werner that Chelsea couldn't as Thierry Henry delivers harsh verdict

When it comes to Premier League strikers, Thierry Henry is one of the best. His 175 goals is only bettered by six players. When it comes to the worst, Timo Werner is unfortunately a shoe-in for the category.

Say what you will about his Champions League win or the work he put in to help his side, 10 goals in 56 matches as a £47m signing is extremely poor. Romelu Lukaku is seen as one of the worst signings in Chelsea's history and he got eight goals in 26 last season.

Werner, who was tipped to be the top scorer in the league when he joined from RB Leipzig in 2020, only scored six goals in his debut year and went two worse with four in his second. He was finally sold for nearly half the price that Chelsea paid for him earlier this summer.
