English Premier League club Chelsea have officially announced the signing of German goal poacher Timo Werner subject to a medical after reaching an agreement with their Bundesliga counterparts RB Leipzig.

With 32 goals in all competitions this season and 13 assists to his name, Werner is one of the most feared strikers in Europe at the moment and he's expected to provide competition for Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud next season.

The Blues are one of the most supported clubs in Nigeria and their fans in these parts quickly took to Twitter to express their joy shortly after the deal was confirmed on Thursday morning.

One of the fans feared for the future of Chelsea's current number 9, Abraham, while most of them hailed the qualities of the incoming striker.

Here's what Chelsea's Nigerian fans are saying about Werner's move to Stamford Bridge :
