Transfer news: Weiner joins Spurs from from RP Leipzig
Timo Werner has joined Tottenham on loan from RB Leipzig. The former Chelsea striker will be with the Spurs until the end of the season.
According to Sky, Tottenham will cover Werner’s salary for the rest of the season and the deal has an option to buy of around £15m.
Werner returns to the Premier League after a two-year spell at Chelsea between 2020 and 2022, where he scored 23 times in 89 appearances in all competitions for the Blues.
The German forward then returned to former club Leipzig at the start of last season and scored 16 goals for the Bundesliga side last term. However, he has been limited to just 14 appearances and two goals in the first half of this season.
Spurs have boosted their forward line after Heung-Min Son left for the Asia Cup in January, with fellow forward Alejo Veliz out for two months with a knee injury.
Spurs midfielder James Maddison is also at least a couple of weeks from returning to action after an ankle injury.
