It was in Leipzig that Werner had his big breakthrough, and became a member of the German national team.
He then moved to Premier League club Chelsea, who reportedly paid around SEK 550 million for the then 24-year-old Werner.
"Two great years at Chelsea"
There, however, there was no success, and Werner stopped at just 10 goals, in 56 games before it became official today that he is leaving Chelsea and returning to Leipzig.
- I had two great years at Chelsea for which I am really grateful, and we got to win the Champions League.
Experiences of playing abroad in a new league helped me and my career.
Now I'm looking forward to a new season with RB Leipzig and above all to meet the Leipzig fans again, who mean a lot to me, he says on the club's website, and continues:
- We have a lot we want to achieve, and it is clear that I want to be the first Leipzig player to reach the 100-goal mark.
