The Germany international will remain with RB Leipzig until the end of the Bundesliga season and will move to Stamford Bridge in July for an undisclosed fee.

"I am delighted to be signing for Chelsea, it is a very proud moment for me to be joining this great club," Werner told the club's official website.
