'He is very welcome in London': Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno believes Timo Werner has made a 'great choice' in signing for London rivals Chelsea as Red Bull Leipzig striker's move nears completion

Bernd Leno has welcomed German team-mate Timo Werner to the Premier League, admitting he would be 'happy for him' when the striker's move to Chelsea is completed.

The Arsenal goalkeeper, who himself made the move from the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen to the Premier League with Arsenal in 2018, is close with Werner from their time together at international level.

And with the Red Bull Leipzig striker close to completing his £53m move to the Blues, after a deal was agreed in principle last week, Leno has welcomed his compatriot to London.
