We hold the first big transfer of this summer transfer window. Timo Werner, RB Leipzig striker, has officially signed up with Chelsea. A transfer confirmed by the player himself in a video published on his Twitter account. “I am very happy to join the Blues next season. It is the best choice to take a stage, "said the player, who will not help our national Olivier Giroud to save playing time.

To everyone at @ChelseaFC:
I'm incredibly happy to be joining the Blues next season! It feels like the right step for me and I am delighted to become a part of Chelsea FC. Really looking forward to playing for such a fantastic and historic club!
See you soon Chelsea fans! 👋 pic.twitter.com/WLcagJCHWt

The transaction amounted to some 50 million euros, according to English media. Importantly, Werner will join the Blues in July, once the German championship is over. He therefore gives up participating in the final phase of the Champions League in August with his club. A big blow for the latter, who loses his main offensive weapon. Werner has scored 30 goals in 40 games in all competitions this season.
