And in a recent interview with German news outlet Sportbuzzer, Werner revealed his decision to join the Blues was a relatively simple one, despite attracting the interest of Europe’s elite.

“It’s no secret that there were several offers.”

When asked about a potential move to other reported suitors – namely Manchester United, Liverpool and Inter – the 24-year-old replied: “It could have been. There were some top clubs that fought for me. The entire Chelsea London package was the best for me, my game and my career.

“The game is played more often in England than in Germany, so there is not much time left for training. But it’s true: I still have to prove myself and go full throttle.”

Despite his imminent arrival in west London, Werner won’t be legible to represent the Blues until next season.

The Blues have won three out of three since their return to action, including an impressive 2-1 victory against Manchester City and a 1-0 win at Leicester which secured progression into the FA Cup semi-finals, where they’ll take on United next month.
