Chelsea close in on German international Andre Schurrle
CHELSEA’S chances of landing forward Andre Schurrle have moved a step closer after Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller confirmed talks had been held.
Voller and general manager Michael Reschke travelled to London on Thursday to discuss a potential £20million move for the German international.
When questioned about the deal, Voller told German Newspaper Bild: “Yes, I was in London and I have had discussions. There is nothing more to say, there is nothing decided yet.”
It is also understood Voller made an enquiry for Chelsea winger Kevin De Bruyne, currently on loan at Werder Bremen, as a potential makeweight of any deal for Schurrle.
Schurrle has scored nine times in 29 matches for his side this season.
