Frank Lampard taking the right steps in his Chelsea rebuild

By -
Timo Werner to Chelsea seems imminent as BILD SPORT confirms that The Blues are close to completing a deal of fee around €60m for the German striker.


Werner, who has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool, has been reported to almost completing a move to Premier League rivals.

Chelsea are desperately in need of a striker after the dip in form of Tammy Abraham which has seen Oliver Giroud start for the blues in their recent games before the suspension of matches have maybe convinced the RB Leipzig man to choose them over the current European champion.

With 31 goals and 12 assists in 43 outings for Leipzig this season, Werner, will be an upgrade on all of Chelsea's current strikers. His pace combined with his ice old finishing prowess will also prove deadly asset for London club.

The Blues have completed the signing of Hakimi Ziyech from Ajax ahead of next season and adding Werner to that will make the Frank Lampard's side impeccable next season.

The German has been in direct talks with Frank Lampard and has agreed to sign a five years contract with The Blues in the coming days.


Werner made no secret of his desires to join Liverpool back in April but the Merseyside club cooled off their interest due to financial difficulties amidst the Coronavirus pandemic.

Should Chelsea be able to get done the deal to bring Werner to the Stamford Bridge, he will be expected to slot into the starting lineup with ease as the club's current strike powers fall short of the 24year old.

The Blues are also believed to be courting Leicester City left-back Ben Chilwell as Frank Lampard look to lineup up his choice of players next season after their transfer ban was lifted for this summer transfer.

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United falled to a sixth defeat in seven games as Nottingham Forest sealed a 3-1 comeback win in the Saint James' Park, adding to their Champions League and Carabao Cup elimination in December while they continue to drop down the Premier League table. Credits to the Englishman, however, he is not in an elite level. A project like Newcastle United's is in a stage where you say thank you very much to Eddie Howe, a bid him farewell. It was a miracle, what the former AFC Bournemouth boss has done in his just more than two years at the helm of affairs in Tyneside and after the club failed to make the statement upon their UEFA Champions League qualification, the time couldn't be more right. Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United when the club was deep down the bottom of the Premier League standing and helped them become the first-ever to avoid relegation having not won a single game up until Gameweek 14 in the competition's history.

Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a real target for Manchester United as they look to secure a main goalscorer, who will lead the lines for the club on a long-term. Erik Ten Hag has opted for a different approach compared to previous managers of United in recent times, whom had all gone for players of different status. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst are strikers the club has signed post Sir Alex Ferguson era, all of whom arrived at the club in their 30s. With Hojlund, United are looking to sign someone who just turned 20, though still has a lot more to learn to master the trade but at the same time, he has got the potentials to become one of the best around. The striker position has been a major issue for the club as many of those who had been signed has not lived up to expectations, while those who did ended up leaving due to their already ending careers. Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the only two names who have m

Aside his conquests with Napoli, the 24-year-old striker was also unplayable in the AFCON qualifiers, scoring ten goals in six games and finishing as top scorer of the qualificatio
