Chelsea have reportedly overcome some minor issues and are set to announce Timo Werner’s arrival at Stamford Bridge this week as the RB Leipzig striker’s release clause is set to expire today.
According to The Evening Standard everything is now in place for Werner to be unveiled as a Chelsea player.
The Blues will pay Leipzig £53million and the 24-year-old will pen a five-year contract worth £200,000-a-week.
Frank Lampard had already acted quickly to capture Ajax aced Hakim Ziyech for £33m and he is keeping tabs on Bayer Leverkusen winger Kai Havertz.
Werner has netted 25 goals in 30 Bundesliga stars this campaign and he is expected to ease the goalscoring burden on Tammy Abraham’s shoulders.
