RB Leipzig already plotting for life without Chelsea new boy Timo Werner as German side snap up South Korea striker Hwang Hee-chan from Salzburg

RB Leipzig's plans rebuild their attack following Timo Werner's departure are already taking shape, with the Bundesliga side completing the singing of Hwang Hee-chan.

Werner's £48m move to the Premier League with Chelsea sees the departure of Leipzig's record goalscorer. The German netted a vital 28 league goals this season, a tally they must find a new source for ahead of next season.

Hwang, who signs from sister-club RB Salzburg, scored 16 goals and recorded 22 assists for the Austrian side this season, starting alongside Erling Haaland before the Norwegian sensation's mid-season transfer to Borussia Dortmund.
