Timo Werner has revealed Frank Lampard was the "main point" to him joining Chelsea.
The prolific Germany striker has completed his £54million switch from RB Leipzig and started training with the Blues this week.
The 24-year-old's services were in high demand this year, but Chelsea pulled off a major coup by convincing him to move to west London.
And Werner admitted Blues boss Lampard was the top draw in his decision to head to Stamford Bridge.
Werner's fellow new recruit Hakim Ziyech also admitted after joining from Ajax that Lampard's influence swung it for him to head to Chelsea.
And as the Blues look to accelerate their squad rebuilding this summer, the former England midfielder at the managerial helm could easily help lure a clutch of further high-profile recruits to Stamford Bridge.
Werner finished his RB Leipzig career as the club's record scorer, racking up 95 goals.
While Werner expects a big challenge ahead in England, he also believes his attributes will suit the Premier League.
"The style of the Premier League is very fast and my speciality is that I am really fast so I think it is perfect for me to play here," Werner told Chelsea's official club website.
"It is another league in another country so I can improve myself to bring it to another level, so those are the reasons I come to the Premier League and to Chelsea.
"I'll try to score as much goals as I can for Chelsea, that is the big reason why they bought me, to bring the goals I scored in Leipzig here, and maybe score more goals than there.
"The first day is always a little bit crazy because you don't know everybody so much. And not only the team, it is always a pleasure to meet the team behind the team the first time and now I am very happy and excited to meet them."
