Red legend casts doubt on Timo Werner

Timo Werner joined Chelsea for the new season. In England, there are now voices that the forward will not immediately get the desired performances from the Blues in the first season.

Graeme Souness, who played for Tottenham Hotspur, Middlesbrough and Liverpool in the Premier League on the ball between 1971 and 1984, expressed doubts about the quality of the new signing. With the Reds, Souness won the European Cup three times and the Premier League title five times. Chelsea transferred around 53 million euros to RB Leipzig for Timo Werner. In addition, the Londoners took winger Hakim Ziyech for another 40 million euros.

“Both come with a good reputation, but that was also the case with Álvaro Morata and he left no impression,” Souness said in a column for “The Times”. Midfielder Morata won’t cry for Chelsea fans. The Spanish came from Real Madrid in summer 2017 for a proud 66 million euros.
