DBasia.news – Chelsea are reportedly one step away from getting the services of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner. The Blues are able to overtake Liverpool who retreated in the middle of the road of getting Werner.
Previously, Liverpool were the team that most likely to get Timo Werner. Werner was interested in joining Mohamed Salah and friends. One of his main goals is to gain knowledge from Jurgen Klopp.
However, Liverpool cannot afford to pay for the release clause of the striker. The Reds need to downsize as their income was reduced due to the corona virus pandemic.
In the end, Chelsea made maneuver. The Blues contacted Timo Werner agent to discuss the contract. After that, the Blues will deal with RB Leipzig.
The question is: Is Timo Werner the right purchase for Chelsea? The following are four reasons why Chelsea did not mistakenly bring Timo Werner:
Young age
One of the advantages possessed by Timo Werner is being brilliant at a young age. With only being 24-year-old, Werner is believed to continue to grow in the future.
Werner’s presence also does not interfere with Chelsea’s plans to build a team with young players. With his experience performing with the German national team, Werner was able to provide knowledge to young Blues attackers such as Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tammy Abraham, and Christian Pulisic.
Fits Frank Lampard’s Scheme
Timo Werner will complement the Frank Lampard scheme. Werner can be juxtaposed with Olivier Giroud or Tammy Abraham as a bang.
Frank Lampard likes attackers who can press quickly. In addition, Lampard also often relies on forwards who have above-average individual abilities.
All of Lampard’s wishes are within Timo Werner. Timo Werner is known for his ability to open space and distract opponents. At that moment, the other Blues players can spread threats.
Timo Werner can also minimize the habit of Chelsea who often waste opportunities ripe. The Blues often beat when facing a small team because it failed to complete the opportunity to become a goal.
In addition, with another new recruit namely Judge Ziyech, Chelsea’s attack power is believed to increase. Ziyech can provide accurate feedback to Werner, and vice versa.
Can Play in Various Positions
The advantage of Timo Werner that not many other players have is the ability to play in various positions. Werner is equally good at being a center or side attacker.
In fact, Timo Werner is not the main predator type that is the goal of attack. Timo Werner was more involved in building attacks with other players.
However, Timo Werner can also play a role as a pure spearhead. His ability to complete opportunities and be in the right position need not be doubted.
“I think, Werner is a different player from the classic number 9 attacker. Werner can play as a central attacker or winger. He is very fast and can cause problems for opponents,” the German national team coach Joachim Low told the Bundesliga official website.
Friendly price
Bringing in players who scored 31 goals in only 40 games at £52 million is a good deal. Moreover, the world economy is uncertain amid the corona virus pandemic.
Timo Werner is a player at a reasonable price with the performance shown today. Usually, players like Timo Werner will be valued more than 60 million pounds in the transfer market.
The existence of a release clause makes Chelsea’s path easier. The Blues just need to find an agreement about the duration of the contract and the value of salary with Timo Werner.
