Chelsea have already raided the Bundealiga to bring in Timo Werner
According to the Daily Telegraph, Chelsea will hand new signing Timo Werner the number 11 jersey.
Chelsea confirmed that the Germany international will be arriving at Stamford Bridge at the end of the season after agreeing a £47.5m deal with RB Leipzig.

Currently occupied by Pedro, the German should have no problem obtaining when he joins us in the summer.
The Spaniard’s contract expires at the end of this month. With a move to Roma on the cards, he has already informed Frank Lampard that he will not play for Chelsea again.
If one is to believe in omens, the number has brought Werner luck in the past. A promising striker at Stuttgart, he moved to Leipzig in 2016.
Donning the number 11, he has failed to hit the 20-goal mark just once in his four seasons at the club. In contrast, he scored a total of 14 goals in his three years at Stuttgart. (h/t Transfermarkt)
Tammy Abraham has performed well as the lead striker this season. In Werner we have a player who can be something special.
Only time will tell if the number 11 will indeed prove to be a lucky omen for the German ace.
