And they have begun enquiries to attempt to get a clear picture of how much Werner is available for as they look to lure him to Stamford Bridge, according to The Telegraph.

Leipzig are determined to keep their prized asset, who has scored 18 goals in 17 Bundesliga games this season while providing six assists.

The German side sit top of the Bundesliga and have a mouth-watering Champions League last-16 tie with Tottenham Hotspur to look forward to.

Other potential options include Lyon striker Moussa Dembele, Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, Crystal Palace attacker Wilfried Zaha, Bayer Leverkusen’s Leon Bailey and Villarreal’s Samuel Chukwueze.
