Tottenham signed Timo Werner on loan from Leipzig on Tuesday, giving the Germany forward another shot at the Premier League after his inconsistent stint with Chelsea.
The 27-year-old Werner joins Spurs on a six-month deal that includes an option to make the transfer permanent this summer.
In the short term, Werner would plug a gap left by the departure of captain Son Heung-min to the Asian Cup with South Korea potentially until mid-February.
The move could also boost Werner’s resumé ahead of the European Championship this summer in Germany.
Werner played for Chelsea from 2020-22 and helped the London club win the Champions League, but it was still an underwhelming stint in English soccer for the German.
