Official: Timo Werner signs for Chelsea

RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has been within the top strikers in the world for quite some time now. He has scored 32 goals and registered 13 assists in 43 appearances in all competitions. Many big European clubs wanted his signature. For many days it was rumoured that Werner will ply his trade in the Premier League.

The rumour has now become true, with the only exception is that Werner was linked with Liverpool in the majority of the rumours but now it is Chelsea who has won the race for his signature.

According to The Telegraph, Chelsea has signed the 24-year-old striker for £47.5 million and offered Werner a 5-year-deal worth £170,000-a-week.

Chelsea was hit with a transfer ban so Lampard used that time wisely to promote the youths of the clubs like Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Callum Hudson-Odoi among others. But experience is also a vital cog in building a successful squad.

Chelsea signed Pulisic before the transfer ban but he hasn’t found his foot yet at Stamford bridge. But once he adapts he will be a live wire in the field. They have also signed Ajax’s attacking midfielder Hakim Ziyech who will join them at the end of this season. Ziyech is a great addition to the squad. And now they have managed to bring Werner to the club. This new-look Chelsea attack will give serious headaches to the other Premier League clubs.

Werner said after signing for Chelsea: “I am delighted to be signing for Chelsea, it is a very proud moment for me to be joining this great club. I, of course, want to thank RB Leipzig, the club and the fans, for four fantastic years. You will forever be in my heart. I look forward to next season with my new team-mates, my new manager and of course the Chelsea fans. Together we have a very successful future ahead of us.’

Timo Werner’s addition is a huge boost to the Chelsea frontline. Earlier Tammy Abraham used to play as the striker but his inexperience sometimes came in between Chelsea’s win and loss. Giroud has also signed a new contract so he would play second fiddle to Werner and would provide great depth to the Chelsea squad.

Marina Granovskaia, Director of Chelsea added: “We are very excited that Timo Werner has chosen to join Chelsea. He is a player who was coveted all over Europe and it is no surprise, he has that rare mix of being young and exciting and yet established and proven. We can’t wait to have Timo on board, but until then we wish him and RB Leipzig all the best for the rest of this season.”

Werner also posted a lovely goodbye message to his current team, RB Leipzig and their fans, thanking them for their support and love over the past four years.

Liebe RB Leipzig Familie, Time to say goodbye – nach 4 wunderbaren und prägenden Jahren ist es heute an der Zeit euch mitzuteilen, dass ich mich entschieden habe in der nächsten Saison nach England zu wechseln. Mit großer Vorfreude und dennoch schweren Herzens gehe ich diesen neuen Schritt in meinem Leben. Ich kann mich noch gut erinnern, als ich 2016 als 20-Jähriger nach Leipzig kam. Mein erstes Spiel gegen Hoffenheim, mein erstes Heimspiel gegen Dortmund, mein erstes Tor gegen den HSV… Nun, 4 Jahre später, blicke ich auf so viele schöne Erlebnisse, Erfolge und Begegnungen zurück, die ich immer bei mir behalten werde. Deshalb möchte ich DANKE sagen. VIELEN DANK an die Fans, meine Teamkollegen, die Verantwortlichen, die Mitarbeiter, an alle weiteren Menschen, die ich hier bisher kennen gelernt habe und an diese wunderbare Stadt Leipzig, in der ich mich von Tag Eins zuhause gefühlt habe. Gleichzeitig freue ich mich total auf dieses neue, spannende Kapitel in meiner Karriere in England, das zur neuen Saison beginnt. Jetzt geht‘s aber natürlich erst einmal darum, die Saison in Leipzig erfolgreich zu beenden! Euer Timo 👏
