Tottenham Hotspur are on the brink of signing Timo Werner on loan until the end of the season, and the latest update from David Ornstein tells us how much the North London club would have to pay if they were to sign the RB Leipzig man permanently.
The news of Timo Werner‘s shock move to Spurs came out of nowhere this weekend, with Sky Sports Germany journalist reporting that the former Chelsea man was ‘on the verge’ of a loan switch to the Lilywhites.
It has been no secret that Spurs and Ange Postecoglou are looking for a new wide attacker this month, with Samuel Iling-Junior, Jota, and Donyell Malen heavily linked (GiveMeSport).
There had been no mention of Werner at all, but things have moved quickly over the weekend. The player was left out of RB Leipzig’s victory over St Gallen yesterday, with his club admitting Werner was discussing terms regarding a move away.

Details of Timo Werner loan deal revealed
Now, thanks to a report from The Athletic, we know that an agreement has now been reached for an “initial loan deal” for Werner to stay with Spurs until the end of the season, and that the deal has an option-to-buy clause.
Ornstein claims the option is “believed to be in the region of €15-20million,” which equates to as little as £12.9m, or at the highest, £17.2m.
The report also adds that Spurs will cover Werner’s salary for the duration of his stay, and it is thought he is “set to undergo a medical as soon as possible.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I never saw this one coming, but I am absolutely on board. Werner struggled at Chelsea, yes, but he is a confidence player, and we know Ange will give him that boost that he needs. If he succeeds, we get to sign him for a real bargain price, and if not, we send him back. It’s a win-win for Spurs.
