Chelsea star trying to convince former teammate to join Blues amid interest from rivals

by

Reliable German journalist Christian Falk took to Twitter earlier today to claim that Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger is trying to convince Timo Werner to join the Blues amid heavy interest from Liverpool.

Falk reiterates that Rudiger and the lightning-fast forward are friends due to their time together at Stuttgart, the duo have also been alongside each other as part of the German national team.

The Mirror reported a couple of days ago that Liverpool have withdrawn from transfer talks for Werner, as they aren’t prepared to meet the star’s release clause.

The Mirror actually claim that Jurgen Klopp’s side aren’t even willing to pay over £30m for prime target Werner, who has established himself as one of the world’s best strikers in recent years.
