Aston Villa Eyes Timo Werner Return for Premier League Push

Unai Emery reportedly expresses a desire to bring the 27-year-old striker back to the Premier League according to reports from Fichajes, overlooking Werner’s inconsistent goal-scoring record during his Chelsea tenure. Despite securing the UEFA Champions League title with the Blues, the allure of returning to the Premier League remains uncertain for the German forward.

Werner has recently exhibited a resurgence in form back in Germany, notably notching 16 goals for RB Leipzig last season. However, his current campaign has been marked by mediocrity, registering only two goals in 14 appearances across all competitions. While Ollie Watkins stands as a formidable striker for Aston Villa, the potential addition of Werner provides a valuable alternative, given his versatility to operate as a wide forward, thereby augmenting the squad’s attacking depth.

Amidst a commendable start to the season, placing Aston Villa in the midst of the title race, the imperative to bolster squad quality becomes evident as they aspire to rival the prowess of clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City. The acquisition of a multifaceted attacker such as Werner could prove instrumental in elevating Aston Villa’s chances of sustaining a formidable title challenge.
