Chelsea’s £47.5m striker talks about his desire to challenge himself in the
Premier League, Julian Nagelsmann’s influence on his career and running the 100m in 11.1sec
After hearing what people have been calling him, Timo Werner says: “I was a little bit surprised but Turbo Timo is not the worst nickname. Hopefully I can show the nickname suits me. Being fast is a really good thing because it gives me a lot of opportunities to score. It means I can create chances. Maybe people can say Turbo Timo scores a lot of goals.”
Chelsea’s new £47.5m striker looks ready to make a fast start in
England. While Werner did not score when he made his debut in the 3-1 win against Brighton on Monday, the German was dangerous at the Amex Stadium and he had a hand in the opening goal when he won a penalty thanks to his speed.
