Chelsea agrees Werner's deal

Chelsea have offered a £200,000 a week contract for RB Leipzig Striker, Timo Werner. The Germany international has a €55m(£49.4m) release clause which expires on Monday June 15.

 The RB Leipzig striker is reported to also show interest in Liverpool and Manchester united.

He had once publicly indicated his preference to move to Premier League Giants Liverpool but they were unwilling to pay the release clause in the current climate.

That allowed Chelsea to move in for their prime forward target, and the 24-year-old Germany born is happy to play for Frank Lampard's young Chelsea side. His priority has always been to sign for a Champions League club where he can play regularly.

Werner will join Hakim Ziyech, who is joining from Ajax for £33m on July 1, as new additions at Stamford Bridge following their controversial transfer bank being lifted by FIFA in December last year.


The club are also interested in bringing in a new left-back with Leicester's Ben Chilwell their number one target.
