RB Leipzig have completed the signing of Timo Werner from Chelsea on a four-year contract until the summer of 2026.

The 25-year-old returns to Leipzig after spending two seasons with the West Londoners, who spent around £47.5m on the Germany international in the summer of 2020.

Chelsea have allegedly agreed to sell Werner back to the Bundesliga outfit for an initial £20m, which could rise to around £25m with add-ons.

Werner landed in Germany on Monday evening before undergoing his medical and finalising personal terms with Die Roten Bullen on Tuesday.

Prior to an official announcement from the two clubs, Werner took to social media to confirm his exit from Stamford Bridge.

A statement from the forward on Instagram read: "Today marks the end of my journey with Chelsea. I am incredibly grateful for the time I spent at this special club.

Prior to joining Chelsea, Werner spent four goal-laden years with Leipzig between 2016 and 2020, finding the net 90 times and providing 40 assists in 156 appearances across all competitions.

The Germany international ended each of his four seasons at Die Roten Bullen as the club's top scorer, and in 2019-20 – his final campaign at the club – he enjoyed the best scoring season of his professional career, netting 34 goals in 45 games including 28 strikes in 34 Bundesliga matches.

At Chelsea, however, Werner was unable to replicate his impressive form in front of goal, finding the net just 10 times in 56 Premier League appearances.

The forward was successful with the Blues in the Champions League, though, as was an important member of Thomas Tuchel's squad who eventually beat Manchester City in the 2020-21 final.

Werner leaves Chelsea after scoring a total of 23 goals and providing 21 assists in 89 appearances for the Blues across all tournaments, as well as winning the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

Die Roten Bullen have also completed the signing of striker Benjamin Sesko on a five-year deal, with the 19-year-old returning to sister club Red Bull Salzburg on loan for the 2022-23 season. body check tags ::
