By acquiring Germany ‘s international Timo Werner ‘s signature, Chelsea made a huge declaration of intent. Today the RB Leipzig striker has been revealed as the newest signing by Chelsea. He will link up with his new team-mates in July, subject to passing a medical examination.

The fee, which has been reported to be as low as €50m (£45m) by Sky Sports, makes Werner the third most expensive striker in Chelsea history after Álvaro Morata’s £60m transfer in 2017, and Fernando Torres’ £50m move in 2011.

He had for quite some time been connected with Liverpool, yet as the Premier League champions-choose wavered because of budgetary contemplations, Chelsea made the most of the chance.
Timo will be required to see out the remainder of the Bundesliga season, which is presently booked to complete on June 27, not long before the typical cutoff date of June 30. Werner will probably not be permitted to play for Leipzig in August, when this current season’s Champions League is set to finish up (he’ll likewise be ineligible to play for Chelsea in our Round of 16 second leg against Bayern).
