Chelsea may reportedly be in a position to complete a deal for RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner as soon as next week.

Chelsea may reportedly be in a position to finalise a deal for RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner within the next few days.

Despite the Blues being willing to activate the player's £54m release clause, it was claimed on Thursday that a medical may not be able to take place until the end of the month.

However, according to the Evening Standard, Chelsea are hopeful of overcoming any remaining obstacles as early as next week.

As well as government restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Premier League outfit may also want to respect that Leipzig are attempting to earn a place in next season's Champions League.

That said, victories from their next two fixtures may be enough for qualification to be achieved by next Wednesday, when they host struggling Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Werner's release clause allegedly expires on July 15, not June 15, in a development which could alert Manchester United.
