If you attribute Werner's struggles to be a result acclimating to life at Chelsea and in the Premier League it feels like a safe bet that he'll turn things around in Germany. Not only is he at a club that knows how to use him, but he also has the added motivation of it being a World Cup year.'

"Today marks the end of my journey with Chelsea FC. I am incredibly grateful for the time I spent at this special club. At this point I would like to express my appreciation for my teammates, the coaches and staff, and especially for you, the special supporters of Chelsea Football Club. I felt so much love and support throughout the last two years and I will never forget how you guys stood behind me in good and in challenging times" Werner said in a personal statement, "We lifted trophies like the Champions League together and I will always remember the song you wrote and chanted for me.

and Kai Havertz are the other center forwards on the team and Chelsea will need them to take steps forward if they want to compete at the highest levels without buying a true number nine this season. Back at Leipzig, Werner will slot right into the lineup next to Christopher Nkunku in a pairing that has the potential to be one of the most effective in the Bundesliga.'

The team doesn't feel deep enough to challenge Bayern Munich for the league title but with those two in front of Emil Forsberg, Domenico Tedesco will have quite a bit of firepower at his disposal. Thomas Tuchel will have to hope that Chelsea can figure out putting the ball in the back of the net, or Champions League qualification could be tough as the rest of the top six in the Premier League has taken a step forward.
