Chelsea beat the likes of Liverpool and other top European clubs to complete the signing of Werner from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig on a five-year deal worth £47m, and the 24-year-old insists snubbing Liverpool for the Blues was the best decision.
Having established himself as one of the deadliest marksmen in Germany, the former Stuttgart man was said to be close to joining Liverpool after several months of speculations.
But the Reds missed out on the possibility of securing the services of Werner due to the financial impact of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Werner was officially unveiled as a Chelsea player to the media on Wednesday and the German spoke about his transfer to join the West Londoners.
"Yes, I think when I decided to leave Leipzig I talked to different clubs and next to Chelsea I spoke to other clubs," Werner said at his press conference.
“For me, I don’t want to talk too much about other clubs.
"Of course, there are some other clubs like Liverpool have a great team.”
“Maybe I could fit in other teams but, in the end, I decided Chelsea because it was the best decisions I could take.”
“Not only the style of football but because of what they shown to me.
"Yes, it was a hard decision in the end but I am very excited, proud and happy I decided this.”
“Now I am here for maybe two months, it feels right, good and the team is brilliant. We have some very good but calm and nice players.”
"It is fun to play at Chelsea, be part of the team and be part of what we start here. We can do very well with this team in the next few months and years."
