Timo Werner, the striker who spent two seasons with Chelsea, could be making a sensational return to the Premier League, according to reports. After leaving RB Leipzig for £47.5 million in 2020, Werner won the Champions League with the Blues but struggled to perform consistently, scoring only ten Premier League goals in 56 matches. He rejoined RB Leipzig in 2022 but may be allowed to leave the club once again. Reports suggest that RB Leipzig is open to loaning him out in January to alleviate their wage burden. Fulham is rumored to be potential suitors for Werner, although his high wages could pose a problem. West Ham and Real Madrid have also been linked with the player, while Chelsea may pursue Wolfsburg's Jonas Wind as an alternative option.

Fulham Struggling for Goals

Fulham, who have been struggling to find the back of the net this season after selling Aleksandar Mitrovic to Al-Hilal in the summer, are in the market for a striker. Timo Werner has caught their interest, but his wages could be a stumbling block for the club. Marco Silva, Fulham's manager, recently signed a new long-term deal, and the club is expected to support him in the transfer market. The possible sale of Joao Palhinha, who was close to joining Bayern Munich before the season started, could provide additional funds for Fulham. The club is currently competing with Manchester United and Liverpool for the signing of Brazil international Andre as a replacement for Palhinha.
