'He can have a much bigger impact than he could at Liverpool': Michael Ballack says Timo Werner was right to join Chelsea over Premier League champions by avoiding competition with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane

Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack said that Timo Werner made 'the best decision' choosing his Stamford Bridge move over Premier League champions Liverpool.

The RB Leipzig striker was heavily linked with Jurgen Klopp's side for quite a while but in a dramatic twist, the German has now agreed a deal to join Chelsea.

Frank Lampard's side triggered the 24-year-old's £54million release clause from the Bundesliga club and offered Werner his chance to excel in the Premier League.
