Timo Werner given '70 per cent chance' of Bayern Munich transfer as Chelsea exit looms

Chelsea star Timo Werner has had a tough time since moving to Stamford Bridge with his exploits in front of goal disappointing but a transfer back to the Bundesliga could go ahead.

Timo Werner has been given a "70 per cent" chance of moving to Bayern Munich from Chelsea in the transfer window.

The striker has had a difficult time since moving to Stamford Bridge after failing to adjust to the Premier League.

Originally brought in for his firepower up front, the Germany international scored just six times in the league.

That is a far cry from the 34 goals he scored in all competitions this year before for RB Leipzig that tempted Chelsea into forking out £47.5m.

The signing of Romelu Lukaku further proves that Thomas Tuchel was desperate for a striker who could find the net after Werner was guilty of missing a number of glorious chances.

Tuchel said earlier this season: "I truly believe that this can be a big upgrade for [Werner].

"Having the attention on Romelu, who likes to be in the centre of the pitch and to fight physically with defenders, can create space for Timo.

"[With] the position, he can play a bit wider than he used to play for us last season
