Former Bayern Munich captain Stefan Effenberg has hit out at Chelsea signing Timo Werner.

The departing RB Leipzig striker will leave his club before their Champions League campaign resumes.

In his column for Sport1, he wrote: “I don't understand why Timo Werner has chosen to miss the rest of the Champions League campaign to join Chelsea.

"We're talking about a Champions League quarter-final. You don't just throw such an opportunity away. Not only is he missing out on a great opportunity, to a certain extent he's also letting down his teammates, with whom he has achieved this."
