Chelsea morning headlines as Frank Lampard hold ‘private’ talks with Timo Werner

Chelsea look set to sign RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner in the ‘next days’, according to one of the most reliable transfer news reporters in the world, Fabrizio Romano.

Things escalated very fast last night as we heard of Chelsea’s interest in signing the German international.

The night ended in pretty much every single reliable source agreeing that Chelsea were now very close to signing Werner, with Sky Sports saying a deal had been agreed in principle.

Romano was a little coy on the move initially, claiming that Liverpool could still attempt to hijack the move.

But he put that to rest in his final tweet on the situation, and pretty much confirmed that the deal would be done in the next few days.

He also revealed that Chelsea boss Frank Lampard personally spoke to Werner directly, proving what great pulling power the Blues legend has.

So as Romano says, now it’s time for the paperwork to be completed, and hopefully we can soon see him holding up a Chelsea shirt for real!
