Chelsea have finalised the signing of RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner for £47.5million. Werner will join the Blues on a five-year contract worth £170,000-a-week.
Werner will move to England at the end of the Bundesliga season. And he will become Chelsea’s second signing ahead of the next season after Hakim Ziyech.
The German star was convinced to join Chelsea by head coach Frank Lampard after he and technical and performance advisor Petr Cech made a pre-lockdown trip to speak with the player and his representatives.
Welcome to Home of Champions Timo Werner.
We have some @TimoWerner news for you! ?
