Ex-Chelsea boss Di Matteo tried to sign Werner twice & expects ‘guarantee of goals’ to shine for Blues

Timo Werner is on his way to Chelsea, with former Blues boss Roberto Di Matteo expecting a player he tried to sign on two occasions in the past to be a “guarantee of goals” for the Blues.

A big-money move for the Germany international striker had been on the cards for some time.

He was considered to have outgrown his surroundings at RB Leipzig – with his time at the Bundesliga outfit ended in style of the final day of the 2019-20 campaign as he became the club’s all-time leading scorer.
