CHELSEA new boy Timo Werner has headed out on holiday as he prepares to link-up with his new team-mates.
The 24-year-old striker is on his way to Stamford Bridge this summer after finalising terms on a £53million move.
Werner achieved a fairy tale ending in Germany after becoming RB Leipzig’s all-time top goal scorer with a double against Augsburg on the final day of the Bundesliga season.
He has since jetted off on a sunny break before he’s forced to become accustomed to English weather.
Werner shared a snap of himself playing kick-ups in swimming shorts with a few simple tropical emojis as the caption.
And fans are eagrly awaiting his arrivial, with one replying: “Chelsea is waiting Timo.”
Another said: “Come to London fast.”
A third added: “This guy deserves a holiday for the season he had. Can’t wait for him to play for us next season.”
Werner’s season is currently over after he forfeited the chance to play for Leipzig in the Champions League in August.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side have already progressed to the quarter-finals after sweeping aside Spurs 4-0 on aggregate back in February.
But Werner’s new side Chelsea face an uphill task after losing 3-0 to Bayern Munich in the first leg of their tie at Stamford Bridge.
And with the German International unable to play for the Blues until next season, Frank Lampard admitted that the striker and fellow new signing Hakim Ziyech may have to train alone.
Lamps said: “I am in the process of arranging that plan now.
“They are also in different positions in the fact that Hakim hasn’t played for a long time because of the Dutch league situation and Timo finished at the weekend.
“We will formulate a plan for them that will look slightly differently individually.
“We will decide in the meantime at Cobham in the training ground whether that means mixing with the squad or whether that means some physical work in the shorter term for themselves.”
