Chelsea one step closer to sign 31-goal German star as manager confirms summer exit

Julian Nagelsmann confirms Timo Werner exit in the summer

Speaking to DAZN (h/t Metro), RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann has confirmed that star striker Timo Werner will leave the club in the summer transfer window.

Werner had his heart set on a move to Anfield, something he has admitted openly. The fact that we have beat them to him is nothing short of a coup.

Although the deal is not official, it has already been agreed to in principle. With the pandemic currently restricting travel across the world, Chelsea have been unable to conduct the player’s medical.

Chelsea have won the race for Timo Werner

Fans have nothing to fear however as Liverpool have already made their intention of not signing the player clear. It took another promising step following Nagelsmann’s admission on the player’s future.

“I do not expect Timo to be here next season.”

With Hakim Ziyech already in the bag, the Blues squad is taking an impressive picture. The duo will considerably enhance our offensive capability.

Chelsea struggled against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League this season. With the additions, we can hope to compete better against the best.

Hakim Ziyech will join Chelsea

Currently, in the fourth spot, we are on course to qualify for next season’s competition. We do however have a number of tough fixtures to negotiate and will be challenged by a revitalized Manchester United side.

The deal worth £53m will also see Werner net £170,000 in wages at Stamford Bridge.
