Chelsea forward Timo Werner 'is on the verge of a sensational return to RB Leipzig, with an agreement over a loan-to-buy deal expected in the next week' as his miserable Stamford Bridge spell is set to come to an end

Timo Werner's disappointing spell at Chelsea appears to be almost over as RB Leipzig are reportedly close to re-signing the forward.

The Blues paid £47.5million for Werner two years ago, but he has struggled to live up to expectations at Stamford Bridge.

After scoring 34 goals in 45 matches in his final season at Leipzig, Werner has only found the net on 23 occasions in 89 games across two campaigns for Chelsea.

According to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, the 26-year-old is now on the verge of a return to the Bundesliga club following 'positive developments' in recent days.
