# Liverpool: Fans think Timo Werner has issued a ‘cry for help’ after his recent comments on Chelsea move

**Timo Werner has made further comments surrounding the nature of his move to Chelsea from RB Leipzig.**

The striker joined the Blues back in June for a transfer fee of £45million (via [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12009479/timo-werner-chelsea-complete-signing-of-rb-leipzig-forward)). However, he was originally linked to Premier League rivals Liverpool, who were interested in pursuing a move for his services for several months.

Werner himself even admitted he thought he [would be a good fit](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2877881-timo-werner-feels-he-might-be-a-good-fit-at-liverpool-amid-30m-clause-report) for Jurgen Klopp’s style of football. Now, he has shed more light on how he snubbed the Reds with a shock transfer to west London instead.

“When I decided to leave Leipzig I talked to different clubs,” the Germany international told [Goal.com](https://goal.com/) (relayed via [@LFCTransferRoom](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1306252975346769920?s=20)). “I don’t want to talk too much about other clubs. Of course, there are some other clubs like Liverpool who have a great team.

“Maybe I could fit in other teams but, in the end, I decided Chelsea because it was the best decision I could take.”

Many Liverpool fans have responded to Werner’s comments and are wishing the club could have got a deal over the line for him. A couple of supporters have said he ‘wanted to sign’ and he ‘begged us’ to snap him up. Whilst another believes this recent interview is a ‘cry for help’ aimed at the Reds to revisit a move for him.

> No hard feelings Timo. You wanted us and begged for us, but it was obvious we weren’t gonna do the deal after some point. Can’t blame you for turning down a starting spot and huge money [#LFC](https://twitter.com/hashtag/LFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [https://t.co/N9dZGVQGle](https://t.co/N9dZGVQGle)
