RB Leipzig 'are working on a stunning return for Chelsea forward Timo Werner and the German 'is willing to take a 50 PER CENT pay cut to rejoin them' after admitting his future could lie away from Stamford Bridge

Chelsea forward Timo Werner is reportedly willing to halve his salary in order to sign for former club RB Leipzig.

The German international left the Bundesliga club two years ago when the Blues paid £47.5million for him, 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.
