Chelsea's move for Timo Werner shows that the transfer market still alive for some clubs

There has been much discussion on how COVID-19 would impact the international transfer market, and it certainly seemed to lead Liverpool to reconsider a move for one of the top forwards in the Bundesliga - but Chelsea showed that talent is still available for teams willing to move quickly for talent, even in this uncertain time.
