Chelsea have completed the signing of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner, subject to a medical.


The German put pen to paper on a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge and is now Chelsea's second signing of the summer after Hakim Ziyech from Dutch side Ajax.


The Blues have agreed to pay the Bundesliga club the €50m (£45m) that will trigger Werner‘s release clause, but the 24-year-old will stay with Leipzig until the end of the 2019-20 season.




Speaking of his move to Chelsea, Werner, 24, told the club’s official website: "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."


Werner has made a total of 157 appearances for RB Leipzig, scoring 93 goals and registering 40 assists.
