Chelsea have allegedly stepped up their interest in RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner, who is also attracting interest from Liverpool.

Chelsea have allegedly made contact with the representatives of RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.

Having netted 27 goals in all competitions this season, Werner is being tipped to move to a bigger club during the next transfer window.

While Liverpool have long been regarded as the frontrunners for the Germany international, Chelsea are also said to hold an interest in the attacker.

According to Kicker, the Blues have now moved to speak with the player's representatives in a bid to win the race for the 24-year-old's signature.

Although Werner has a contract until 2023, Chelsea are able to instigate official discussions if they activate his £51m release clause.

With at least one of Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi expected to depart Stamford Bridge later in 2020, Frank Lampard is eager to sign a high-profile replacement.
