Loan planned: Werner about to move to Tottenham

National player Timo Werner is about to make a surprising move. According to dpa information, the 27-year-old is to be loaned out by RB Leipzig to Tottenham Hotspur for six months. Negotiations are well advanced, but not yet in the final phase. Details such as a purchase option still need to be clarified. This was first reported by Sky.

Werner is currently with the team at the training camp in La Manga, Spain. A test match against FC St. Gallen is planned for Saturday afternoon (3.00 pm). It was initially unclear whether Werner would be involved in the match.

Werner was much more relaxed in camp than in recent weeks in Leipzig and appeared much more motivated. Leipzig had recently assumed that the striker would not transfer in the winter.

Werner is hoping that a potential transfer will give him more playing time and therefore a better chance of taking part in the European Championships at home this year. He has lost his regular place at Leipzig, never making the starting eleven in the Champions League and only twice in the Bundesliga.

Werner already played for Chelsea FC from 2020 to 2022, who signed the attacker from Leipzig for 53 million euros. A year and a half ago, the Swabian returned to Saxony for €20 million, but has not proved to be the reinforcement he had hoped for.
