From 'diving' Jurgen Klinsmann and Invincible Jens Lehmann to 'Der Hammer' Hitzlsperger and three-time champion Robert Huth... the Germans who have graced the Premier League as Timo Werner heads to Chelsea

Chelsea fans are already thrilled at the prospect of Timo Werner playing for them next season as a £53million transfer from RB Leipzig moves closer to fruition.

The German striker is one of the hottest properties in European football and his reliable supply of goals has the potential to elevate Chelsea into title contention.

But Werner will be far from the first German to grace the Premier League since its inception back in 1992. In fact, he will be the 70th footballer from Germany to feature in the English top-flight in this time.
