A biography for Timo Wernerhasn’t been written yet.
“We want to win and you can't have a player who needs a long time to adapt.”
“Being fast is a really good thing because it gives me a lot of opportunities to score. It means I can create chances.”
“Sometimes when you come to a new club, you know that everybody has big expectations for you and they want you to score the goals for the club.”
“You have to keep smiling, that's the most important thing because when you are not happy and you don't enjoy football, and you are always angry or mad, you can't go back to moments where you can play good football.”
“A lot of good strikers come to the Premier League and take one year to settle down and adapt.”
“There's a lot more work in the Premier League. You have to a lot more defensive work as a team than, for example, in the Bundesliga.”
“I don't have to be the fastest one - as long I'm too quick for the defenders.”
“At Leipzig, I was also a bit spoiled in this regard, as I never had to miss a game when I was physically able to play.”
“At home when you are the normal Timo or Kai, you are not the superstar or the footballer, you can put the football away, put the stress away and talk about normal things.”
“Of course, I want to be a regular in a big team.”
“I really enjoy playing football, no matter where I'm playing.”
“The Germans love the types like Thomas Muller, Jurgen Klopp - they have empathy. They say what they think, and that is really important in this business, to not fake something.”
“I had a very good first six months at Chelsea, which was what the supporters and club expected of me. I scored the goals and played good games.”
“I think English football is very fast, faster than German football.”
“At Leipzig, I was a striker, a No 10, playing on the flanks.”
“A career always goes up and down, never steadily upwards. But you learn to deal with it.”
“Manchester United and Liverpool were the teams I watched quite a lot in England. They were the two that I'm a little bit a fan of because they have so much history.”
“I'll try to score as much goals as I can for Chelsea, that is the big reason why they bought me, to bring the goals I scored in Leipzig here, and maybe score more goals than there.”
“Yes, playing in the Premier League is a dream for me. I would like to play for two or three clubs, and Manchester United are one of those clubs.”
“I think it's hard when you play every three days.”
