Chelsea are putting the final touches on their move to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig ahead of an anticipated announcement.
As exclusively revealed by Telegraph Sport last week, Werner has agreed to join Chelsea after head coach Frank Lampard and technical performance advisor Petr Cech made a secret trip to Germany to hold talks with the forward before the coronavirus lockdown.
Werner has a reported £53million release clause in his RB Leipzig contract and it is understood that Chelsea are now in advanced talks with the German club over how the deal will be structured.
All parties are confident the transfer will go through shortly with just a few details to be sorted out between the clubs before they can agree when to make an announcement.
Leipzig are not on the German stock exchange, which means they and Chelsea can choose a mutually beneficial time to officially announce Werner’s move.
Chelsea’s players are convinced Werner, along with February signing Hakim Ziyech, will join the club in plenty of time for next season.
