Timo Werner joins Chelsea FC

Timo Werner set #LFC a separate deadline to make a final decision on whether they were prepared to meet his release clause. Klopp consulted with FSG, then called Werner to explain why the move would not happen. Klopp insisted the reasoning was purely financial. [Athletic] pic.twitter.com/NCpK1Ntmjr

He was Inter potential target if Lautaro leaves, but never believed in this. I could see him   directed to Premier League ( his real willingly ) but especially to Liverpool

Werner- Liverpool looked like a  marriage "announced " in my eyes

I rate him. My only doubts is about how much he depends on " comfort zone".

In a statistical level, he was excellent so far in a league  and in a proper system for him. Immobile-esque.
But he couldn't figure it in those 3 World Cup games.

Having said that, fast CFs and able to run deeply usually succeed in Premier League, so I expect this again from him

no doubt he will be a success, in the framework of possible success of this Chelsea

It may feel like it, but if it were a Harmonica stat Messi would of course be winning

and the fact that Messi isn't winning that particular stat also explains the

Here’s a ranking of players who have taken shots at goal having carried the ball for at least five metres before the shot, from Europe’s five major leagues. Werner leads the way with 30, ahead of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, with Son in the chasing pack just behind.

Werner isn't a pure No.9, Tammy is. I magine they'll play together with Werner playing off Tammy.

Either some kind of 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3, depending on the situation.
4-4-2:

Ziyech Kante Kova Pulisic
Tammy Werner

4-3-3:

Jorgi
Kante Kova
Ziyech Tammy Werner

(4-3-3 really lacks width so I suspect a 3-4-3 might be used instead)
3-4-3:

James Kante Kova Alonso
Ziyech Tammy Werner

We still need a LB but I am hyped for this signing.
