Tottenham have successfully signed RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner on loan until the end of the season, with the right to sign him permanently in the summer. Werner previously played for Chelsea, scoring 23 goals for the Blues between 2020 and 2022 and averaging 89 appearances per game in the Premier League. The 27-year-old Germany international left Chelsea for £25 million two years ago to rejoin Leipzig, but has limited appearances this season due to manager Marco Ross' restrictions, making just four starts in all competitions.
He is expected to start for Tottenham in the upcoming game against Manchester United. Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is working to bring in new players early this month and is hoping to sign Radu Dragusin from Genoa in the coming days. The club have already made a bid of around £20 million for the Romanian defender but faces competition from Bayern Munich.
In addition, Jade Spence has also been offered to Genoa on a six-month loan as part of a potential deal. With captain and top scorer Son Heung-min out for at least a month due to his participation in the Asian Cup, Tottenham's squad has weakened. In addition, Alejo Veliz is currently suffering from a knee injury. Timo Werner's arrival will provide Spurs with additional attacking options to cope with those absences. Overall, Tottenham have signed an important player for Timo Werner, who brings valuable Premier League experience and the potential to enhance the team's attacking prowess.
