Although the Premier League season has not yet ended, London's Chelsea is already actively working in the transfer market. Last week it was officially announced that from next season, the honor of the "aristocrats" will be defended by RB Leipzig's attacking leader Timo Werner. For a long time, it seemed that the 24-year-old German's career would turn towards the Liverpool team, but Chelsea reacted faster to the situation and strengthened their attacking line. Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger, with whom the attacker played together at the Stuttgart team, also contributed to T. Werner's decision to move to London.

"I communicated with Werner even before his arrival, as we have known each other for a very long time. We talked a lot especially during quarantine, and that's when he mentioned to me that he wanted to move to England. Of course, I did what I had to do. Like everyone else, I am very happy that Werner chose Chelsea. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work together with him. I have known him since he was 17 years old, and over the past years, Timo has improved significantly. He can be very important for our team," - said A. Rudiger officially to the Chelsea website.
