Timo Werner says Chelsea have made him feel at home even before he officially leave RB Leipzig.

RB Leipzig’s star striker is on his way to Stamford Bridge this summer after finalising terms on a £47.5million move.

He admits he chose Chelsea over Liverpool after “comfortable” talks with Frank Lampard and the board.

The Germany ace told Sky Sports: “The discussions with the board at Chelsea were so good that I ultimately chose them.

“Frank Lampard in particular stood behind me and really wanted me to know that if I went to Chelsea, I could feel just as comfortable as I do with Leipzig.

“In the conversations with me, the coach often emphasised how much he wanted me, how much he valued me as a person.

Of course it’s hard to give up an oasis of well-being like the one I’ve had in Leipzig for years, but you can only get ahead in a career if you take the next step.

“This season was the crossroads, otherwise I would always have stayed with Leipzig.”
