As per Football London, Werner is set to rejoin RB Leipzig in a reported £23.5 million deal having failed to adapt to life at Stamford Bridge. The German attacker arrived in west London in the summer of 2020 having become one of Europe's most prolific strikers. A record of 90 goals in 156 appearances for Leipzig had Blues fans excited over his £47.7 million signing. But Werner couldn't live up to the price tag or the expectations in the Premier League. He leaves Stamford Bridge, having scored 23 goals in 89 appearances although he does have a UEFA Champions League trophy to his name. Rangnick, who coached the striker at Leipzig, has had his say on Werner's time at Chelsea and his proposed return to the Red Bull Arena. The former United interim coach told SkySports DE: "From a sporting point of view, the transfer makes sense. Timo has speed and depth. No player in RB has that in the offensive area except [Christopher] Nkunku." Perhaps questioning whether the German striker had the full backing of Blues boss Thomas Tuchel, Rangnick added: "In order to play at his performance limit, Timo needs trust and the absolute backing of the trainer. It's important for Timo that he plays regularly so that he can get in shape for the World Cup." Touching on where Werner is most effective, Rangnick concluded: "I see him as one of two strikers at his strongest and most effective. [Andre] Silva and [Yussuf] Poulsen could benefit from him."
