Timo Werner said he made the right decision by choosing Chelsea over Liverpool a few days before the derby between the two Premier League clubs this weekend in London.
The 24-year-old striker came to Stamford Bridge from RB Leipzig for £ 47.6m after months of speculation linking him to a move to Anfield.
According to German press reports, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp personally persuaded Werner to play for his team, but the Merseysiders later gave up due to concerns about the financial consequences of COVID-19.
“When I decided to leave Leipzig, I spoke to different clubs, of course,” Werner told a press conference. Liverpool have a great team, but in the end I stopped at Chelsea because it was the best decision I could make, not only because of the style of play, but also because of what they showed me as a project. It was a difficult decision, but I am very, very excited, proud and happy that I decided. I feel very good in these two months that I am here. The team is brilliant. We have very good players and it is fun to be together. “We can achieve a lot in the coming months,” Werner said.
