Three clubs in the Premier League clubs are reportedly contemplating a January approach for RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.

RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner may reportedly return to the Premier League during the January transfer window.

Given his exploits during his first spell at the Bundesliga giants, Werner was regarded as one of European football's best strikers at one point.

However, despite winning the Champions League during a two-year stint with Chelsea, his stock dropped in the eyes of many even though he chipped in with 23 goals and 21 assists from 89 appearances.

Chelsea were happy to sell the Germany international for £25.3m in 2022, securing a reunion for Werner with Leipzig, and he can claim to have enjoyed a solid first year back at the club.

A total of 16 strikes and six assists came from 40 outings, seemingly keeping him in favour under Marco Rose, but that has not proven to be the case.

Nine of Werner's 13 appearances in 2023-24 have come from the substitutes' bench, featuring for just 234 minutes in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

According to 90min, Leipzig has now reached a decision that they are prepared to part ways with their club legend should they receive a suitable offer at the turn of the year.

Werner, who has chipped in with 113 goals and 47 assists from 212 appearances across two stints with Leipzig, is allegedly attracting interest from each of West Ham United, Fulham and Crystal Palace.

The Hammers, who seem likely to have Europa League football on their schedule after Christmas, are not short of attacking options, but David Moyes has sometimes opted to use Jarrod Bowen in attack courtesy of Michail Antonio and Danny Ings making less of an impact.

Fulham are also struggling for goals in the wake of Aleksandar Mitrovic's summer departure, and Werner would seemingly command a regular spot in Marco Silva's team.

Crystal Palace can be deemed to be in a similar plight with only Odsonne Edouard having scored more than three goals in the Premier League during 2023-24.

The report indicates that each of Fulham and Palace are open to loan deals, while West Ham are said to be weighing up their options rather than identifying Werner as a specific target.

He holds a contract until 2026 and Leipzig are in a position where they do not need to sell for a fee lower than their valuation courtesy of the money that they generated through the sales of Josko Gvardiol, Dominik Szoboszlai and Christopher Nkunku in the summer.
