Nagelsmann in contact with Chelsea striker Werner as Bayern Munich option emerges

Chelsea striker Timo Werner is being linked with a Julian Nagelsmann reunion at Bayern Munich.

Werner and Nagelsmann enjoyed a stellar relationship during their time together at RB Leipzig, with the young coach overseeing the most prolific period of the much-maligned striker's career.

Now, reports in Germany suggest that the pair could link up once again, with Sport 1 reporting the German international could end up at Bayern Munich under the guidance of Nagelsmann as soon as next summer.

The report claims that Werner is seeing a drastic improvement in his form at international level under fellow German boss Hansi Flick, bagging two goals in two games this international break - a far cry from his performances in west London.

Nagelsmann is thought to still be in regular contact with his former star and his name has been discussed among the Allianz Arena hierarchy as a potential Robert Lewandowski replacement after the current Bayern talisman told the club he is seeking a new challenge.
