RB Leipzig's Timo Werner is among the most promising youngsters in the world and is a much younger option, that could be available for Chelsea.

He started his professional career with VfB Stuttgart and is the club's youngest debutant and goalscorer in the Bundesliga. Werner stayed for three years in Mercedez-Benz Arena, scoring 13 goals in 95 Bundesliga games.

In 2016, he transferred to RB-Leipzig for a then club-record transfer fee of €10 million and is a regular goalscorer for the club since then. He finished as the Bulls' leading goalscorer in all competitions during his debut season and repeated that feat last season as well.

He has continued his remarkable growth this season as well and has already registered 11 goals and two assists in 17 Bundesliga games. Werner is also a regular starter for the German National football team and has represented his country on 23 different occasions.

Quick, hard-working and technically sound, the young German possesses all the attributes to succeed in the Premier League and could be the answer to Chelsea's woes. He is also more versatile than the Argentine and will let Sarri experiment more with his tactics in the re-building phase at the club.
