4 strikers Chelsea should target this summer

#2 Timo Werner (RB Leipzig)

Werner has long attracted attention from some of Europe's elite clubs

Timo Werner had enthralled audiences with his break-neck speed and lethal finishing during RB Leipzig's debut season in the Bundesliga. He has since gone on to become a regular starter at senior level for Germany, with the potential to lead the line for Die Mannschaft in the years to come - provided he stays fit and in-form.

Making intelligent runs in-behind opposition defenders with his blistering pace, he also helps off-the-ball by dragging markers away which in turn offers space for teammates to exploit.

Previously utilised as a winger during his tenure at VfB Stuttgart given his speed, he was also a key creative outlet for Leipzig in their breakthrough campaign - where he demonstrated the versatility to play in a multitude of attacking positions. With great link-up play allowing him to combine alongside Yussuf Poulsen and Emil Forsberg during his time at Leipzig, there's no reason why a big-money move isn't on the horizons soon for the 22-year-old.

During an interview with FourFourTwo last year, Werner discussed his desire to play in the Premier League and understandably wishes to take his career to the next level. Whether Chelsea grants him the opportunity to do so remains to be seen, though he's certainly a quality player and a long-term investment too.
