Chelsea signing Werner: I'm perfect for Premier League

Chelsea signing Timo Werner thinks his style will fit perfectly with the Premier League.

The Blues paid RB Leipzig £47.5m to sign the speedy goal-machine, who was unveiled at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Speaking about his arrival in England, Werner thinks his pace will be key to his success.

He said: "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.

"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'm very happy to be here and I'll try to score as many 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."
