‘Werner one of the best & Chelsea are using him wrong’ – Hasenhuttl explains German striker’s struggles

The Southampton boss, who worked with a prolific goalscorer at RB Leipzig, believes he is at his best when used as a central frontman

Timo Werner remains “one of the best strikers in Europe” and his struggles at Chelsea can be explained by the Blues often using him in the wrong position, says Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Frank Lampard invested heavily on another proven frontman during the summer transfer window of 2020.

Amid rival interest from clubs across the continent, those at Stamford Bridge moved quickly to put a £47.5 million ($65m) deal in place with RB Leipzig.
