    Tottenham Hotspur has officially secured the signing of Timo Werner from RB Leipzig on an initial loan until the end of the season. Spurs, in search of additional attacking options for the second half of the 2023/24 campaign, swiftly finalized the deal after initiating talks last week.

    Despite an earlier inquiry from Manchester United this winter, Spurs successfully acquired Werner, incorporating an optional purchase clause reportedly valued between £13m and £17m.

    Interestingly, Tottenham’s interest in Werner dates back to 2015 during his Stuttgart days. However, they opted for Son Heung-min instead, who has since become the team’s captain.

    Werner moved from Stuttgart to Leipzig in 2016, establishing himself as one of Europe’s most promising forwards over the next four years. After a stint at Chelsea, where he contributed to their Champions League triumph, he returned to Leipzig for the 2022–23 season. Despite scoring 18 goals in 54 club games in the past year and a-half, he lost his starting position to Belgium’s Lois Openda.

    Now, at Tottenham, Werner aims to bolster his chances of making Germany’s squad for Euro 2024. He could potentially debut for Spurs on Sunday when they face Manchester United.
