Chelsea manager Frank Lampard believes Timo Werner’s decision to join the club next season is an exciting sign of where the Blues are headed.

German international forward Werner, who has scored 32 goals in all competitions so far this season, was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool.

However, Chelsea pursued their interest to meet Werner’s reported 60 million euro (£54 million, $67 million) release clause as Liverpool’s dwindled due to the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
