After months of no news in the footballing world, Chelsea fans are suddenly hearing about a major breakthrough.
Timo Werner, who looked all but guaranteed to be going to Liverpool, is now apparently very close to agreeing a switch to the Blues.
Understandably, after such a long period without much to talk about, Football Twitter has gone wild, and Blues fans all over are getting super hyped about the prospects of their front 3 next season.
There are questions about where he might fit in, but that’s for later. Right now is the time to celebrate getting a great player, right from under our vials noses. As one user put it – “We’ve only gone and done it again!”
Damn right.

To put things into perspective we're basically using the Morata money from when we sell him this summer to sign Werner, the business from this is stupendous.

This is like the good old days of Chelsea when Abramovich would just open his cheque-book and after that, it’s a done deal.
Werner, Ziyech, Chilwell and one other signing and we mean serious business over the next couple seasons.

Hearing Liverpool have given up on Werner now. Also had info that the clause will be either €55 or €60 million depending on whether Leipzig reach the Champions League. Less money if they don't off course. https://t.co/bIeEvquvSv
