In a recent report, Defensa Central stated that Real Madrid are hoping to recruit Chelsea forward Timo Werner on loan this summer. It is believed that Los Blancos are eyeing a loan move to sign the German international ahead of the new campaign.
Werner’s Inconsistent Numbers At Stamford Bridge Last Season
Werner experienced an up and down season at the West London outfit as he struggled to be consistent with his offensive contributions over the past 11 months. The 26-year-old registered 11 goals and six assists in 37 appearances for the Blues in the previous campaign across various competitions.
The German sensation could only manage to average 2.1 shots and 0.5 dribbles per 90 minutes in the Premier League. However, he did well to complete 78.2% of his attempted passes in the English top tier (stats via whoscored).
Is Werner A Decent Fit For Real Madrid Head Coach Carlo Ancelotti?
Werner can use his pace to make a few promising runs with the ball out in the wide areas. He loves to get in behind the opponent’s backline but needs to work on beating the offside trap. The German talent is even proficient at creating space for himself to get a few shots in on-target. However, he has to find a way to improve his productivity in front of the opposition goal.
We can expect Werner to bring some pace and goals to Carlo Ancelotti‘s frontline at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. The Chelsea attacker has often played as a left-sided wide player but can even operate as a striker down the middle if his manager tells him to do so.
Therefore, Werner will be a good fit for Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti’s needs at the moment as he would serve as an ideal back-up to Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior at the Madrid club next season.
A change of scenery could do the German’s confidence a world of good during this summer transfer window. Therefore, Ancelotti should try everything he can to lure Werner to the Spanish capital on a season-long loan deal this summer.
