RB Leipzig are increasingly confident of signing Timo Werner from Chelsea.

The German striker left Leipzig for Chelsea in the summer of 2020 for £45m.

But Werner has struggled in west London and the club are willing to part ways this summer.

Sky Sports claims that talks between the two clubs are running 'at full speed'.

They are exploring the option of both loan or permanent deals.

Werner, 26, wants to leave Stamford Bridge to secure regular playing time ahead of this year's World Cup.

Juventus have also shown interested in Werner.
