Schurrle is said to have agreed terms early on in the negotiations, but talks between the clubs took the deal perilously close to the transfer deadline.
Towards the end, everything did draw out somewhat, which was stressful for me and really frayed my nerves," the attacker told reporters.Now I am finally at #VfL #Wolfsburg and I am very, very happy about that.
It wasn't my first transfer, so I was aware that these things can take longer than expected before all parties have agreed on the terms.
After 18 months of failing to break into #Chelsea first team on a regular basis, the 24-year-old was keen to come back to the #Bundesliga and saw second-placed Wolfsburg as an excellent opportunity.
It was my express wish to return to #Germany, #Schurrle added. I had offers from #Spain and #France too but, at the end of the day, I really wanted to return to Germany.
Wolfsburg made their interest known very early on. I took a look at the team and the prospects of the club, which seem very good.
