Timo Werner has had a difficult start to his Chelsea career, with goals becoming difficult to come by for the German international. This has caused speculation that he could leave the club at the end of the season claims FootballInsider247 .
According to the article, there is an increasing hope that the German international will return to his homeland “within the next year or two,” perhaps as soon as this summer.
After an excellent season with RB Leipzig, the 25-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge on a five-year deal last summer.
He was exceptional with RB Leipzig scoring 34 goals in all competitions. Werner was expected to perform in the same manner for the Blues but, it has been a difficult story for him so far.
However, we think it is pretty harsh to judge a player in the first season. Werner already admitted that it has been difficult for him to adjust to the physicality of the Premier League.
Werner has had a rough start to life in England, although he has shown flashes of his apparent talent. It is up to Chelsea management and coach Tuchel to give him the confidence to find his scoring boots quickly. Tuchel has good experience in developing young talents and he has to take the responsibility to take Werner back to his best.
Tuchel being a fellow German can easily bring the best out of him. The 25-year-old is still one of the young prospects in the Chelsea squad. Chelsea is still in three competitions and there is enough time to mould the player, this will benefit both the player and the club.
Chelsea sits in 4th position in the Premier League, however, they were struggling under Lampard a while ago and it also has impacted the player’s confidence.
From the player’s point of view, he may consider moving back to Germany where he had performed well. It may give him more confidence and also assures him a place in the German International team. But, it is up to Tuchel to change his mentality.
In the current scenario, it is reported that most of the top clubs are looking to sign a striker this summer. Chelsea will have to unnecessarily get into that competition if they decide to leave Werner. Also, it shows the lack of player management personal. It will also give an impression of how Chelsea treats their players.
There are several players in the Chelsea squad who is facing a similar situation and we don’t suppose that the club will try to sell all these players.
