Two years ago, German versatile attacker Timo Werner joined Chelsea for 63 million euros from RB Leipzig – but has since struggled to settle in the Blues attack, first under Frank Lampard and now under current boss Thomas Tuchel.Tuchel even purchased Romeo Lukaku for 116 million euros last year having lost faith in the Germany international as his No 1 striker, but despite the Belgian also flopping having since returned to Inter Milan on loan, Werner remains out of favour at Stamford Bridge.The fact that Werner won the Champions League with the London club did not solidify the connection between the player and the club – between his performances and the team’s results, to be more exact. And that is why the possibility of the 26-year-old leaving is picking up more and more momentum. Newcastle United are reportedly interested in rescuing Werner from his nightmare spell at Chelsea.🚨 Newcastle are interested in signing Timo Werner, who is willing to leave Chelsea this summer!

According to German publication Bild, the Magpies want to offer Werner an opportunity for a second chance in the Premier League while the player also has interest from his former club.Werner’s future remains even more doubtful with Raheem Sterling having since arrived from Manchester City.”It is hard to say,” he said last week when asked if clear-the-air talks were needed.”First of all, the most important thing is that I am happy. I am happy when I play and score goals. That’s the fact. That’s what I should take care of and the other things will come.”When quizzed over whether could find that happiness at Chelsea he responded sharply: “I could be happy everywhere.” Big things were expected of Werner, who has 53 caps for his native Germany.The comment did not sit well with his compatriot and his current manager at Stamford Bridge.”I’m surprised, I would be very happy as a young guy having a contract at Chelsea football club. I would be one of the happiest people on the planet,’ he said after Chelsea’s pre-season penalty shootout defeat at Charlotte last Wednesday.” said Tuchel.”He needs to get his game time. He has to show quality, take your place and defend your place.”I would be one of the happiest people on the planet having a contract with Chelsea. If he said this, I do not understand.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6530451##With Newcastle manager Howe looking for improvements in his attack for next season – the potential Blues loss could be a huge gain for the team from the far north of England. Last term, Callum Wilson was the top scorer for the Magpies with eight Premier League goals, but there was little firepower elsewhere in attack, with January signing Chris Wood offering only two goals from his 17 appearances.The Germany international’s versatility in attack that allows him to play across a front three forward line is the biggest advantage for Howe in signing Werner.
