Daily Mail reports that Tottenham Hotspurs have surprisingly taken the lead in the loan deal for Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. Initially, the German striker was said to be very close to joining Man Utd. In addition, Aston Villa also want to add a speedy attacker to share the burden with Watkins.
However, Timo Werner is interested in coach Ange Postecoglu's plan. If RB Leipzig and Tottenham quickly complete the loan terms, Timo Werner will quickly board a flight and be in England for a medical . The final issue between the two teams is whether the loan contract includes a mandatory buyout clause at the end of the season.
Timo Werner is about to join Tottenham.
According to writer Sami Mokbel, Timo Werner is the one who can significantly increase the depth of Tottenham's squad. Son Heung-min has returned to the national team to participate in the 2023 Asian Cup. The striker born in 1992 will be absent in January and Richarlison alone is not enough to carry the attack of the Roosters. The London team is in dire need of a new attacking option on the left wing. Tottenham Hotspurs are ready to enter the race for a ticket to the European Cup C1 next season.
Timo Werner's rejection of Man Utd is understandable because the team is in turmoil. Even the future of head coach Erik ten Hag is not guaranteed at this time. The Red Devils have just welcomed Sir Jim Ratcliffe as a shareholder and take over sports management. There will be many notable changes at Old Trafford in the near future.
However, Man Utd should probably still find a more practical and suitable target. In fact, Timo Werner has not been in good form in the Bundesliga, he has only scored 2 goals in 14 appearances and lost his official position to Openda at RB Leipzig.
Man Utd need a big boost in attack instead of an inconsistent striker. Roberto Firmino and Karim Benzema are being linked with the Red Devils as the two stars are stuck in the Saudi Arabian Premier League. The Premier League transfer window closes on February 1.
