How Does Chelsea's Acquisition of Timo Werner Impact Next Year's Title Race

Chelsea are set to acquire RB Leipzig star Timo Werner once the 2020-21 transfer market opens in the coming weeks. The Blues have decided to pay the Germany international’s release clause – set at 55 million euros. Chelsea acquiring Werner would undoubtedly have a huge impact on the title race ahead of the 2020-21 English Premier League. Frank Lampard’s men would automatically become one of the main title contenders, perhaps right on the same level as Liverpool and Manchester City.

Let’s not forget The Blues have already confirmed the arrival of Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, for a reported 40 million euros. The sole idea of a front three of Ziyech, Werner, and Christian Pulisic – while adding Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi as main backups – should create nightmares in opposing defences. Plus, the oldest of that bunch is Ziyech at 26 years old, meaning none of these players is even on his prime yet. That’s downright scary. It won’t be hard to believe that Chelsea will be on of the top Champions League picks to win the tournament next season. 

Plus, it’s hard to imagine Liverpool repeating what they have done during the current season, especially if one of Sadio Mane or Mohamed Salah end up leaving the club -- both have been linked with exits from Anfield of late. The same could be said about Manchester City. Their squad could look quite different by the time the 2020-21 season rolls around if they are banned from playing in the UEFA Champions League, as expected.

But getting back to Chelsea, the potential addition of Werner gives The Blues a proven goalscoring that represents an upgrade over Abraham. Werner has scored 25 goals for Leipzig this season, after netting a combined 29 goals in the two prior seasons. The 24-year-old is just scratching the surface of his potential and is scary just how good he can become in the coming years.

Considering Chelsea already boast quality and experience on defense and midfield, adding a star striker could be just what they needed to be one of the top Premier League picks to win the title next season. Undoubtedly, his presence at Stamford Bridge could represent a huge turning point for the title race in the 2020-21 English Premier League campaign.
