Football fans were quick to take to social media to castigate Chelsea after Timo Werner bagged a brace for Germany against Italy in the UEFA Nations League.

It wasn’t lost on the fans how Werner has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League. The 25-year-old was a feared striker during his RB Leipzig days before moving to Chelsea.

He has continued to be lacklustre in front of goal, often missing big chances with a section of Chelsea fans calling for his exit. He signed a five-year contract when he joined the Blues in 2020.

@Vintage_Cfc said

Timo Werner of Chelsea & Werner of Germany are two completely different players. It’s incredible how little trust from a manager does to a player.

Another section of fans called for patience with the former RB Leipzig striker. Chelsea's head coach has been rumoured to be ready to listen to offers for Werner. Tuchel wants to bolster his attack and Werner could be sold to raise funds for other players like Ousmane Dembele who is high on Tuchel's list.

According to African Football expert, Nuhu Adams, the former Chelsea star will join a tall list of erstwhile African stars in Europe who have made a switch to the Djibouti top flight.
