Chelsea have completed the signing of Timo Werner, with the German attacker set to move to Stamford Bridge on a five-year contract at the end of the season.
The Blues have triggered the 24-year-old's 58 million Euro release clause at RB Leipzig and he's set to have a medical at Stamford Bridge when the Bundesliga league finishes next month.
Werner has been in prolific form in the German top-flight this season, scoring 26 goals in 32 appearances in the league while also contributing eight assists.
"I am delighted to be signing for Chelsea, it is a very proud moment for me to be joining this great club," Werner told Chelsea's official website.
"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."
To everyone at @ChelseaFC :

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia 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."
