Timo Werner: German forward chose Chelsea 'to win titles'

Chelsea forward Timo Werner says he chose a move to Stamford Bridge "to win titles” after he was linked with Premier League champions Liverpool.

The German international, 24, signed a five-year deal with Chelsea in a £47m move from RB Leipzig in June.

Werner said manager Frank Lampard persuaded him to sign for the Blues despite interest from other clubs.

“When I decided to leave Leipzig, I talked to different clubs [as well as] Chelsea,” he said.

“Of course there are some other clubs like Liverpool - they have great team - and also maybe I would fit other teams.
