DBasia.news – Chelsea are rumored to be one step away from securing the services of RB Leipzig striker, Timo Werner. Werner is considered to be a sharp striker for the club coached by Frank Lampard.
Chelsea is also rumored to announce the clarity of Timo Werner’s transfer along with the expiry of Werner’s release clause which will end on June 15.
After Michael Ballack, who considered that the agreement was beneficial to both parties, now it was the turn of the former RB Leipzig coach who spoke up regarding Timo Werner’s transfer to Stamford Bridge.

“Football (England) is very strong and fast. It fits well with Timo,” Ralph Hasenhuttl said as quoted by AFP.
“With his speed, he can be a lethal weapon in the right team,” said the man who is currently training Southampton.”
“He sometimes needs more encouragement from his surroundings. However, what I always like about him is that Timo scores goals that no one else can do.”
“If the opponent gives him a little room (to score), he will be difficult to stop. He has many qualities that will always put him above the others,” added Ralph Hasenhuttl.
Meanwhile, Timo Werner is also undergoing a brilliant season with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
He has scored 25 goals and 8 assists in 30 Bundesliga matches with RB Leipzig. Werner is second on the Bundesliga top scorer list. He only lost to Robert Lewandowski who has scored 30 goals.
Not only sharp at club level, Werner also has a slick record of goals on the international stage. Werner scored his first goal for the German national team against Cameroon in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. So far, he has recorded 11 goals in 29 international matches with Der Panzer.
