Premier League side, Tottenham has announced the loan signing of former Chelsea striker Timo Werner from RB Leipzig until the end of the season.
Tottenham will cover Werner’s salary for the rest of the season and the deal has an option to buy of around £15m.
The German forward then returned to former club Leipzig at the start of last season and scored a total of 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.
The German disclsoed in an interview that: “I’m very happy to be here. I’ve joined a very, very big club.
“Also, the tactics, the style, how he wants to play and lets the team play – for me I thought straightaway that it fits perfectly.
“When I left the Premier League I straightaway missed it because it’s the best league in the world. I miss London as well, I really settled in here, I loved England and when I left it I really missed it because it’s a great city and a great place to be.”
