San Jose Earthquakes have signed former Chelsea and Spurs striker Timo Werner to a contract until June 2028, occupying a Designated Player roster spot. The 29-year-old German star won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021 and has scored 24 goals in 57 appearances with the German national team. Werner's move to San Jose Earthquakes is one of the club's biggest-ever transfers in club history. He joins the club after a stint with RB Leipzig, where he managed just nine goals and four assists in 27 games. San Jose Earthquakes head coach Bruce Arena said, 'To have a player of Timo's calibre coming in is simply outstanding for the club and the community.' Werner also spoke on the move, saying, 'It's always a big decision to go to America, but everything is there to be successful.' The stadium and facilities at San Jose Earthquakes impressed Werner, who was also drawn to the club by Arena's experience and success in the league. Werner will not be relocating immediately and will continue training with RB Leipzig in the coming weeks due to his wife's pregnancy. The Earthquakes fans can expect to get a player who gives everything on the pitch, every game, according to Werner. He has always delivered trophies at his previous clubs and wants to win with San Jose Earthquakes. The transfer was made possible after San Jose Earthquakes acquired Werner's Discovery Priority from Red Bull New York in exchange for $50,000 in 2026 General Allocation Money. Werner's experience and skill will be a valuable addition to the San Jose Earthquakes squad. He will be looking to make an impact on the pitch and help the club achieve success. With his contract until June 2028, Werner is committed to the club for the long term. The San Jose Earthquakes fans will be excited to see Werner in action and are expecting great things from him.
