Joachim Low admits Kai Havertz and Timo Werner joining Chelsea will benefit the German national team.
The pair have been brought in for big money, with Havertz becoming the club's record signing after joining from Bayer Leverkusen on Friday.
"I see it as negative when such great talents as Kai are no longer in the Bundesliga," Low said ahead of his side's Nations League match against Switzerland on Sunday which ended in a 1-1 draw.
"But I also see the positives. The players develop their personalities abroad. I think if Kai and Timo take the next step at Chelsea, that will of course help us."
