Rudi Voller: 'Andre Schurrle talks are ongoing'

Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller has asked for patience regarding striker Andre Schurrle's potential move to Chelsea.

It was revealed last week that a fee had been agreed for Schurrle, which appeared to indicate that a deal was close to being concluded, but Voller has insisted that there has been no progression with talks between the two clubs.

The former German striker told reporters: "There is nothing to confirm. Of course, we talked about it, but there is nothing to report.

"The interest from Chelsea is there. Let's wait."

The 22-year-old forward has scored 23 goals in 83 appearances for Leverkusen.
