Timo Werner has revealed how Frank Lampard persuaded the RB Leipzig striker to sign for Chelsea. The Bundesliga forward will join the club next month for £53million subject to a medical. Werner, who was reportedly coveted by Liverpool too, explained to Sky Sport: 'The discussions with the board at Chelsea were so good that I ultimately chose them. Rudiger said: 'From next season, Timo will have to deliver, otherwise I will get in trouble from the club again afterwards. 'Although he is not a classic penalty area striker, he has a certain robustness to face the English toughness.'
