VfL Wolfsburg must get a deal done for Chelsea attacker Andre Schurrle inside the next hour for the transfer to happen today, it is claimed. Schurrle's father arrived at Wolfsburg's front office this morning, accompanied by his agent.

The Germans are battling against time to get a deal done, with experts stating his transfer from Chelsea must be registered with the DFL transfer list by midday in Germany.

At the midday cut-off, negotiations can continue over personal terms and method of payment between clubs.

Former Middlesbrough striker and Bundesliga pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft revealed:

If Schürrle at 12 o'clock is NOT on the DFL-TransferList. The deal is OFF. From 12, the clubs have 6 hours to finalize the deals — Jan Aage Fjortoft (@JanAageFjortoft) February 2, 2015
