Chelsea have announced the signing of RB Leipzig and Germany International striker Timo Werner ahead of next season.

The Blues confirmed the signing in a statement released on their official website on Thursday.

Werner agreed to join Chelsea on a five-year deal after they paid €50m (£45m) to trigger his release clause and which will see him earn more than €10m (£9m) per season in England.

“The 24-year-old has agreed personal terms with the Blues, and will remain at the German club for the rest of the Bundesliga season. He will link up with his new team-mates in July, subject to passing a medical examination.”
