It’s certainly shrewd business by Chelsea who have moved quickly to sign Werner to improve their options up front for next season.

The 24-year-old forward brings goals, skill, pace and work rate up front and looks like he could be a real hit in the Premier League after impressing in the Bundesliga and the Champions League in recent times.
