Thomas Tuchel has 'decided Timo Werner will NOT be leaving Chelsea this summer amid interest from Real Madrid'... with the Blues' boss determined to keep the striker despite his difficult season in front of goal

Thomas Tuchel will not allow Timo Werner to leave Chelsea for Real Madrid this summer, according to reports.

Werner endured a difficult first season at Stamford Bridge after his £53million move from RB Leipzig last summer, with the striker managing just six goals in the Premier League.

The German forward missed a number of big chances throughout the campaign and appeared to suffer a crisis of confidence as he went 14 league games without a goal from November to February.

While the forward may not have been clinical in front of goal, he did contribute 15 assists in all competitions and ended the season on a high as Chelsea won the Champions League.
