Werner makes Chelsea transfer admission

Timo Werner has revealed he walked away from multiple offers from clubs to sign for Chelsea.

“Yes, I think when I decided to leave Leipzig, I talked to different clubs and next to Chelsea, I spoke to other clubs,” Werner said at a press conference. “For me, I don’t want to talk too much about other clubs.

“Of course, there are some other clubs like Liverpool who have a great team. Maybe I could fit in other teams but, in the end, I decided Chelsea because it was the best decision I could take. Not only the style of football but because of what they showed me.

“Yes, it was a hard decision in the end but I am very excited, proud and happy that I decided this. Now I am here for maybe two months, and it feels right, good and the team is brilliant. We have some very good but calm and nice players.”
