Chelsea set to beat Liverpool in Timo Werner race

Stamford Bridge is the place to keep a close eye on according to reports. With the transfer ban lifted and the January window days away, Chelsea could be the busiest of the lot.

Many difficulties in the Chelsea camp, a manager issue is not one of them. Players causing off-field problems are too not one of them. What has brought forward concern are certain performances in Frank Lampard‘s maiden campaign as a Premier League manager.

Yes, these issues did not arise when they met for an intense meeting with old boss Jose Mourinho and his then in-form Spurs side. Chelsea on the day were the better team. After a first-half brace by Willian and a bit of luck with the sending off of Heung-Min Son, Lampard wore a smile from ear to ear.

Rocky road for Chelsea

Afore this, however, the Blues struggles to get a result. They lost four in six outings before their top-of-the-table clash the weekend past. It re-opened all the cracks at Stamford Bridge and the leaks were visible.

One weekend they were flying high, seven-game winning streak, ahead of champions Man City and hot on the heels of Leicester City and log leaders, Liverpool. The next week 17 points off from the title race and reality kicked them all at the Bridge straight on in the head.

This is why the lift of the transfer ban has spread so much hope throughout London. This is why they will be so active in the market. The saying of, “don’t take for granted what you got” has sat deep in the minds of those in blue.

The money saved from the Eden Hazard sale and going a summer without being able to spend any significant fees for incomings have left this London side with deep pockets. They are on a mission to play catchup with their counterparts.

Timo Werner talks heat up

Timo Werner is one of the most lethal injections in front of goal. Not only in the Bundesliga but across the lands of Europe. He has scored 18 goals in 17 league appearances. This has handed the German forward a good hand in his own transfer.

"Chelsea are willing to make Timo Werner the highest earner at the club. They will activate his release clause in January, along with a number of other top clubs. From there it’s down to the player. (via: TransferChecker)"

He will get to select his destination with ease after having a great run for the 2019-20 term thus far. At the age of 23-years-old, he fits in well with the mould at the Bridge. If Chelsea are serious about making him the highest-paid player at the club, he will definitely head over in their direction.

Liverpool were the team from the Premier League most linked with a move for the striker. But it’s hard for the Reds to convince players who are not ready to play second fiddle to Jurgen Klopp’s preferred starting 11.
