Chelsea have just secured a deal for Timo Werner by the sounds of things.
It’s a massive coup for the club, as the German striker seemed certain to be on his way to Anfield.
He’s one of the best strikers on the market this summer, and getting him could change everything for Frank Lampard’s team.
The praise has to go to Marina Granovskaia, the Chelsea director who is the boss of our negotiations and sporting strategy.
Fans on social media have had their doubts in the past, but this is unquestionably a textbook “Marina Masterclass”, as they say.
On Chelsea Twitter they were going crazy for their idol, with some demanding the club “build Marina a statue.”
We wouldn’t go that far just yet, but if she can pull off an equally good deal for a left back, we might have to start drawing up designs.
A selection of their glorious reactions are recorded here:

If you include the loan fee that Atlético paid for Morata, Chelsea received £51.3m from the deal.
They’re now triggering Werner’s release clause of £49m.
They essentially went from Morata to Werner & made a profit.
Their negotiator deserves a statue outside Stamford Bridge.

Timo Werner & Hakim Ziyech for less than 100 milli in this inflated market is top business from Marina
