Report: Timo Werner wants to sign for Chelsea

Chelsea appear to have won the race for Timo Werner's signature.
Timo Werner has decided that he wants to join Chelsea from RB Leipzig this summer, according to Bild.

The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool in the past few months, but Bild claims that he is now set to join Chelsea instead.

'The Blues' are understood to be prepared to trigger the €60 million release clause in Werner's contract, which expires on June 15.

According to Bild, Werner will be offered a five-year contract that will see him earn more than €10 million per year.

Werner's contract with RB Leipzig runs until 2023. The striker has made 40 appearances for 'Die Roten Bullen' this season, racking up 31 goals and 12 assists.
