<p>RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner has agreed personal terms with Chelsea with the 24-year-old striker remaining at the German club for the rest of the Bundesliga season. Werner will join the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/premier-league">Premier League</a> club in July, subject to passing a medical test after the Blues agreed a reported £47.5 million fee for the German forward on £200,000-per-week in wages.</p>

<p>Werner’s inclusion further strengthens the Chelsea squad especially with the Blues signing Hakim Ziyech from Ajax earlier. The German along with the likes of Christian Pulisic, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham, could turn into a potent attacking line. Renowned for his pace, movement, link-up and deadly finishing, Werner has been enjoying a phenomenal season having scored 32 goals and 13 assists in 43 appearances in all competition.&nbsp;</p>
