Chelsea signing Timo Werner has revealed his decision to abandon RB Leipzig's Champions League campaign 'hurt', as he prepares to officially head to Stamford Bridge.
The German striker will officially begin his contract with the Blues on July 1 after a £47.5 million ($59m) switch to the Premier League was announced earlier this month.
However, the decision to join Chelsea quickly after the transfer fee was agreed between the two clubs means Werner will miss out the rest of Leipzig's continental campaign.
