RB Leipzig Director Christopher Vivell has admitted interest in re-signing Chelsea striker Timo Werner.

Werner is being linked with a return to his former club.

And Vivell says RBL are keen, stating: "Timo Werner is a special player for us. Of course we find it exciting.

"However, we're not close to a deal. But we're exchanging ideas (with Chelsea)."

It's been suggested Chelsea would be willing to do business if RBL made Josko Gvardiol in exchange.
