WIth 11 Days Left On His Release Clause, Chelsea Wins Werner Race Ahead Of Liverpool

With eleven days left to the expiration of his release clause at RB Leipzig, Chelsea have now agreed a deal in principle to sign Timo Werner

Chelsea have offered a £200,000-a-week contract to Werner; Germany international has €55m (£49.4m) release clause which expires on June 15.

Werner will join Hakim Ziyech, who is joining from Ajax for £33m on July 1, as new additions at Stamford Bridge this summer following their transfer ban being lifted by FIFA in December last year.

Chelsea were unable to sign players last year and opted not to bring in any acquisitions in January, instead focusing on their main targets this summer.
