Werner becomes the first Chelsea men's player to sign up to Common Goal and donate part of his salary

Timo Werner has become the first Chelsea men's player to sign up to Common Goal as he pledges at least one per cent of his salary to help causes relating to disadvantaged youth.

The 24-year-old had just made a £47.5 million ($61m) switch to Stamford Bridge in the summer and earns around £200,000 a week after excelling at RB Leipzig for the last few seasons.

Chelsea face Liverpool at the weekend and Werner will come up against fellow Common Goal funder Jurgen Klopp, while the Blues have two women's players signed up to the cause in new signing Pernille Harder and Magda Eriksson.
