Andre Schurrle to join Chelsea in the summer.

The German forward is set to join Chelsea for a reported $30M. He is set to be the second German player at the club after Marko Marin. He originally joined Bayer Leverkusen from 1.FSV Mainz 05. Schurrle, 22, can play as a winger or as an upfront striker. His first season with Mainz 05 finished with him scoring 5 goals and giving 3 assists and Mainz finishing 9th. In the same season he only missed 1 match. His second season he scored 15 goals in 34 games and helped Mainz qualify for the Europa League. At the end of the 2010-11 season Schurrle joined Leverkusen on a 5-year-deal. Schurrle cost Leverkusen around $10M. Chelsea had been courting Chelsea since May 2011. On April 18th it was official the the clubs director traveled to London to hold talks with Chelsea about Schurrle. He made his International debut in a friendly against Sweden and scored his first goal for the senior team against Uruguay. He was also chosen for the Euro 2012.

I think he will do great in his first season at Stamford Bridge (IF he joins). He will fit well into the style of football that Chelsea play. Chelsea play a free-flowing quick attacking football. He can also rotate, during the game, with the striker (Hopefully the striker will be Torres). He has shown great potential and can improve in the future. He wont be a regular in the first season but in the second season he will be a regular. This all depends on who the manager is. The next manager will have Schurrle at their disposal. I think this is a great signing for Abrahamovic. Also part of the deal is that Chelsea winger, Kevin De Bruyne, will be loaned to Leverkusen next season. He already made his name in Werder Bremen with some good performances. An well done deal. Hopefully he can perform for Chelsea.
