Newcastle United are interested in Chelsea forward Timo Werner, according to German paper, Sports BILD. .
Sport Bild’s Head of Football reveals that Newcastle are keen to sign the German international who is yet to settle fully at Chelsea since his arrival in 2020.
It was disclosed that Werner’s agent have been in constant contact with Newcastle to make the deal a reality.
Since his arrival at the Stamford Bridge, Timo Werner has made 60 appearances for the Blues and scored 14 goals with16 assists
That’s a total of 30 contributions in 60 games which is not bad, however, he has missed a lot of chances which forced Chelsea to sign Belgian International, Lukaku.
But it would be a real surprise if Newcastle seal the deal in the January transfer window.
Lukaku may now be on the scene at Chelsea, but Werner has still been getting games. He has made eight appearances so far this season.

It feels as though Thomas Tuchel is giving him every chance to become a success at the Bridge.
Of course, Newcastle could well offer a big fee for his services which might tempt Chelsea to sell.
But Newcastle’s new owners may be opposed to doing that given he has found life difficult in the Premier League
