So far Timo Werner has struggled to score on a regular basis in England. The German joined the Blues from RB Leipzig ahead of this season but has not scored with the same regularity that saw him becoming a Bundesliga star.
Naturally, there are some reports suggesting that Werner could soon be on his way out of Stamford Bridge.
Should he end up leaving Chelsea, the following are candidates to replace him.
Sergio Aguero
The Argentine is set to leave Manchester City this summer. Aguero may now be 32-years-old but when fit, he is still a match-winner and world-class player.
He could still have a good 2-3 years of football left in him and with almost 300 Premier League appearances under his belt, he could bring in a wealth of experience to Stamford Bridge.
However, he is a Manchester City legend and so it remains to be seen if he will be willing to play for another club in England.
Erling Haaland
20-year-old Haaland is expected to go on and become a generational great whilst also challenging for the Ballon d’Or. Haaland averages nearly a goal per game for current club Borussia Dortmund and it is likely that he will end up leaving Dortmund at some point in the near future in order to play for an elite club.
Haaland could be the long-term solution to Chelsea’s number nine dilemma though he will not come cheap and the Blues will have to battle numerous other clubs for his services.
Harry Kane
At nearly 28-years-old, Kane is now at the prime of his career and will not get any better. Though a world-class player, he has yet to win a single major trophy and it does not look like Tottenham will win a piece of major silverware anytime soon.
Now could be the right time for Kane to join another club.
