Frank Lampard makes Man City transfer claim about Chelsea signing Timo Werner
straight to your inboxFrank Lampard has claimed that Manchester City and Liverpool were interested in signing Timo Werner before Chelsea struck up a deal.Chelsea swooped for the striker after seeing him score 28 goals in the Bundesliga last season for RB Leipzig and the West London club have been an exception to the rule in the transfer window by spending heavily while most clubs have not; a reported £25m deal in place for Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy will take their spree beyond the £250m mark if completed.City have been focused on strengthening their defence this summer, with a £40m deal for Nathan Ake done and another centre-back being chased.
