TIMO WERNER could sensationally return to the Premier League, according to reports.
The striker spent two seasons with Chelsea after leaving RB Leipzig for £47.5million in 2020.
Werner won the Champions League with the Blues but scored just ten Premier League goals in 56 matches as he struggled to perform consistently.
The flop rejoined RB Leipzig in 2022, but he could be allowed to leave the club again.
Reports suggest that the German side are open to loaning him out in January to get his high wages off their bill.
A move to the Prem is on the cards with Fulham supposedly potential suitors.
