Timo Werner would have been “perfect” for Manchester United, says Owen Hargreaves, with Chelsea considered to have pulled off quite the coup in moving to the front of a queue for the proven frontman.
Those at Stamford Bridge have put a £54 million (€60m/$68m) deal in place that they hope will see a Germany international make his way to west London from RB Leipzig.
The Blues appeared to sit some way down the list when talk of a big-money transfer for Werner first surfaced, with Liverpool considered to lead a hunt that also included Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
