Chelsea manager Frank Lampard and sporting director Petr Cech made an 'undercover' trip to Germany to help the Blues pip their Premier League rivals to the signing of Timo Werner.
The highly sought-after RB Leipzig striker has agreed in principle to join Chelsea in a stunning deal worth £53million move on wages of £180,000-a-week.
The German international was also being courted by Liverpool and Manchester United, but opted for the West London club after former Lampard and Cech added a personal touch in their efforts to securing him.
