Timo Werner is reportedly "thinking about leaving Chelsea" due to a lack of Premier League minutes but would prefer to stay at Stamford Bridge.

The Germany international, 26, has scored just seven Premier League goals since his £47.5million move from RB Leipzig in July 2020. His lack of goals has seen him fall down the pecking order under Thomas Tuchel, starting only eight league games this season.

Much was expected of Werner when he arrived at Chelsea. He scored 28 Bundesliga goals for Leipzig during his final season in Germany and remains prolific at international level, finding the back of the net 22 times in 49 senior outings.

Some believe Werner should leave Stamford Bridge in pursuit of regular football and, according to Sky in Germany, he is considering a move. Yet it's believed his preference is to stay in west London. The forward has 38 months remaining on his existing deal.

Werner's contract is thought to be the biggest stumbling block in leaving Chelsea. He is currently valued at £37.8m by Transfermarkt and reportedly earns €15m a year - around £245,000-a-week - at Stamford Bridge. Few clubs would match those wages.

Chelsea have other strikers on their books. Romelu Lukaku completed a £97.5m move from Inter Milan last summer -
