West Ham United ‘dealing with personnel’ over Timo Werner deal, RB Leipzig won’t stand in his way
West Ham are “dealing with personnel” over a move for RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner, according to Fussball Transfers.
The publication reported on its website on Wednesday (13 December) that the player is currently thinking about changing clubs.
Fussball Transfers added that RB Leipzig would not stand in his way, with Manchester United, Fulham and Crystal Palace also eyeing Werner.
“The Saxons wouldn’t put any obstacles in Werner’s way if a suitable request came in,” according to Fussball Transfers. “The 27-year-old is now also thinking about a change in air with a view to the upcoming European Championships.
“First contacts are made on the island, where Werner once hunted for goals for Chelsea FC. Manchester United, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Fulham FC are dealing with personnel.”
New striker incoming?
Premier League fans will be well familiar with Werner’s work, with the striker having made 89 appearances for West London outfit Chelsea.
The move to Stamford Bridge came after the forward impressed for RB Leipzig and Germany, but his switch to England certainly didn’t go to plan.
The Hammers could, however, offer Werner with a chance of redemption, in a move that may just work out for all parties,
RB Leipzig clearly don’t view the forward as a key player, with the 27-year-old playing under 400 minutes in all competitions this season.
A switch to a new club where he can play regularly would certainly do Werner the world of good meanwhile as Euro 2024 rapidly approaches.
And West Ham fans will be desperate to see a new striker brought to the London Stadium sooner rather than later, with the club really relying on winger Jarrod Bowen for goals this season.
