Chelsea's new signing Timo Werner has begun training with his team-mates for the first time since his £47 million switch from RB Leipzig.

The 24-year-old, who penned a five-year deal with the Blues after agreeing to join in May, was given an extended break to rest after finishing the Bundesliga season with the German outfit.

But Werner was spotted watching his new club seal qualification for next season's Champions League with a win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

And the Germany international has been getting acquainted with his new surroundings at Chelsea's training complex in Cobham.

The forward posted an image of himself kitted in Chelsea's training attire, writing the caption: "First training, first time wearing blue! @chelseafc"

Werner is not the only new addition to Frank Lampard's squad ahead of next season, however, as Hakim Ziyech linked up with the west London outfit earlier in July after completing his move from Ajax.

Chelsea have two more fixtures to prepare for before the season officially ends, with Arsenal next up in the FA Cup final and Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16 second leg.

Neither Werner or Ziyech will be eligible to feature in those games, as both players are only registered to play from next season.
