Ordinary off the pitch but extraordinary on it, Timo Werner's 'brutal nose' for goals has seen him transform from the most hated striker in Germany to the most admired... now this self-styled 'normal schoolkid' is set to flourish at Chelsea

There was genuine cause for celebration on the King's Road this week, as it emerged that RB Leipzig and Germany star Timo Werner is poised for a move to Chelsea this summer.

Previously linked to both Bayern Munich and Liverpool, Werner would be quite the swoop for Frank Lampard's Blues, who will expect to shell out £54million to buy the diminutive striker out of his current contract.

Even in the post-coronavirus market, that may prove to be a modest sum for one of Europe's most coveted goalscorers. Particularly for a goalscorer who, at 24, is only getting better.
