Chelsea boss Frank Lampard couldn't hide his delight at securing the signing of the coveted German striker. Lampard: "I did speak to him and he was excited, which is great, I'm certainly excited to have him here. We have to hold our breath slightly because we have business at hand, as does he finishing [the Bundesliga], but I have spoken to him. He's the type of player and profile we are looking at, he can come here and have a big impact hopefully. We'll have to give him a bit of time for adapting, the Premier League is a slightly different animal to all other leagues in world football, but the talent Timo has, the work ethic, personality and humility shone through when speaking to him, so I'm really looking forward to having him here in all senses."
