Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has urged forward Timo Werner to snub a move to Chelsea and join Premier League rivals, Liverpool, in the summer.
According to the former Irish international, Timo Werner should look to join the Anfield outfit because, under Jurgen Klopp, the forward can really sharpen his skills.
Aldridge told the Liverpool Echo: “Liverpool and Timo Werner are a marriage made in heaven. From what I have seen of the striker, he would suit the Reds perfectly and offer a valuable option to Jurgen Klopp.
“He can play in every position across the front three and, in terms of his attributes, he has everything Liverpool would need. Especially his finishing.
“Many supporters will be watching Werner closely for the first time given the Bundesliga is the only major European league to have resumed following the suspension due to the coronavirus. And they’ll have surely been impressed by the manner in which he has already been knocking in the goals, particularly his hat-trick against Mainz at the weekend.
“It’s obvious Werner wants to come to Anfield. He’s talked it up enough times. And he’s right to say the way Liverpool play suits him. He would be better served moving to the Reds rather than going somewhere else such as Chelsea.
“Don’t get me wrong, he would be brilliant for Chelsea. But under Klopp, he could prosper even further. This is a manager who has helped improve obvious talent such as Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
Do Chelsea have a chance of signing Timo Werner?
Aldridge might have advised Werner to snub a move to Chelsea but to be honest, we do not think, the 24-year-old has even considered joining another Premier League side apart from Liverpool.
The Leipzig man has been in red-hot form this season, scoring 24 goals in just 27 Bundesliga matches and the German international has always shown an interest in working under Jurgen Klopp.
Some rumours have also gone on to claim that Timo Werner has already had a verbal agreement with Liverpool and the two parties are just waiting for the lockdown situation to ease so that the other conventionalities can be taken care off.
So clearly, Chelsea might have an interest in Timo Werner much like a few other big European clubs but right now they are not even close to agreeing on a deal.
