Aston Villa now interested in January move for 27-year-old Chelsea once signed for £45m

Timo Werner is admired by Aston Villa,

who hope to bolster their offensive options in the January transfer window.

One of the campaign’s biggest surprises to date has been Unai Emery’s team.

They are tied for second place in the table with league leaders Liverpool going into Sunday.

Additionally, Timo Werner is one among the players Aston Villa is keeping an eye on. 

Werner seems like a viable target for Villa.

He is, of course, no stranger to the Premier League, having signed a £45 million contract to join Chelsea in the past.

Werner and a transfer to West Ham have also been mentioned.

Regretfully, neither side was satisfied with his tenure at Stamford Bridge.

In 89 games across all competitions for the Blues, he finished with 23 goals and 21 assists before returning to RB Leipzig.

Since his comeback, the 27-year-old has scored 11 goals in the Bundesliga.

In all competitions, he also scores a goal every three games on average.

It’s interesting to note that this season, he has barely appeared. Werner has just twice in the top flight stayed on the field for more than an hour. Nor has he spent ninety minutes.

Leipzig might therefore be receptive to Werner offers in the January transfer window. And given his time at Chelsea, he might welcome the chance to return to England and make a statement, especially if Villa makes an appearance.
