It's two years this very day that Chelsea confirmed the £49.5million signing of the much sought-after Timo Werner. The Blues felt they were getting one of European football's deadliest forwards. There was understandable excitement at Stamford Bridge.
Marina Granovskaia said: "We are very excited that Timo Werner has chosen to join Chelsea. He is a player who was coveted all over Europe and it is no surprise, he has that rare mix of being young and exciting and yet established and proven."
Someone of Werner's reputation and profile was never going to be simple to sign. Liverpool held a strong interest in the German attacker, but Chelsea ended up winning the race.
