As per a report, Chelsea will not entertain the idea of selling Timo Werner this summer or using the German as part of a make-shift to sign Erling Haaland.

The German only moved to Stamford Bridge last summer in a £47.5m from RB Leipzig. He joined with a big reputation on his shoulders but has struggled for consistency in the Premier League. The 25-year-old has scored just one goal in his last 20 Premier League games.

However, he has been more involved in goals since Thomas Tuchel took over from Frank Lampard. Chelsea are reportedly in the hunt for a striker and have been linked with Erling Haaland of late. Some reports even claimed the Blues might be ready to offer Werner as part of the deal to sign the Norwegian forward from Borussia Dortmund.

However, the latest report from The Telegraph is that there are currently no plans to offload the 25-year-old, not even as part of a deal for Borussia Dortmund hitman Haaland.

The report details that there has been no discussion in the boardroom at Stamford Bridge about selling striker Werner.

Chelsea would only consider moving Werner as part of a deal for Haaland if Dortmund made it expressly clear that they were interested in the 25-year-old.

Alternatively, if Werner himself decided he wanted to move on after a year, that could change Chelsea’s thinking.

But that is seen as unlikely, especially given the Germany international’s excellent attitude despite a topsy-turvy season thus far.

He has scored 10 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions so far, as Chelsea bid for success on three fronts.
