What the papers say

Timo Werner could be on his way out of Chelsea after only one season as the Blues contemplate a bold move for Borussia Dortmund sensation Erling Braut Haaland, Football Insider reports. The 25-year-old Werner was one of Chelsea’s most hyped signings of last summer but is said to have failed to live up to expectations. Striker Haaland has become the hottest commodity in Europe, and Chelsea are now mulling shipping out Werner in a part-exchange deal for the 20-year-old in a bid to beat a host of other clubs to the Norwegian’s signature.
