Tottenham Hotspur has successfully secured a loan deal for the dynamic German forward and former Chelsea striker, Timo Werner, from RB Leipzig.
The agreement extends till the season’s end, with an option for a permanent transfer.
Werner, no stranger to the Premier League, had a two-year tenure at Chelsea from 2020 to 2022, where he netted 23 goals in 89 appearances. Despite a rollercoaster performance at Chelsea, Werner’s relentless energy and agility make him an ideal addition to the Spurs’ squad.
After his stint at Chelsea, Werner returned to his roots at RB Leipzig, where he scored an impressive 16 goals last season. However, his time on the field this season has been limited, with only 14 appearances and two goals to his name.
The timing of this move couldn’t be better for Spurs, who are keen to bolster their forward line following Heung-Min Son’s departure for the Asia Cup in January. With fellow forward Alejo Veliz sidelined for two months due to a knee injury and midfielder James Maddison also out due to an ankle injury, Werner’s arrival brings a much-needed spark to the team.
Expressing his enthusiasm about joining Spurs, Werner stated, “I’m very happy to be here. I’ve joined a very, very big club.” Both Spurs and their fans are eagerly anticipating Werner’s debut, hoping that he can bring his Bundesliga form to the Premier League and bolster the team’s performance in the upcoming fixtures.
