According to Alasdair Gold, Timo Werner is expected to arrive in North London later today and carry out the necessary steps to complete his loan move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham have moved quickly to add a new wide attacker to their squad this month. The news of Spurs’ interest in Timo Werner only emerged over the weekend, courtesy of Sky Sports Germany reporter, Florian Plettenberg.
Since then, we have learned more details about the proposed move, which will see Spurs pay Werner’s salary until the end of the season. It is said the 27-year-old would be available to sign permanently for between £12.9-17.2m if Spurs wanted to keep him (The Athletic).
It is said the signing of Werner is something Ange Postecoglou personally wanted to happen (Philipp Hinze) as he looks to reinforce his attacking areas. Likewise, Werner himself was keen to link up with the Spurs boss (Fabrizio Romano).
A report from The Standard today claimed Werner would be completing his medical in the early stages of this week, and that he would likely be available to feature for Spurs against Manchester United at the weekend.
Timo Werner arriving at Spurs tonight
It seems we are nearing the end of this short-lived pursuit, with a positive outcome very much in sight for Spurs in the immediate future. The next steps are clear, with Alasdair Gold sharing an update on the situation.
Gold tweeted: “Understand Timo Werner will arrive at Spurs this evening to begin all of the process ahead of his move.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I would imagine we should get confirmation of Werner’s signing tomorrow then, if all goes well tonight. This will be a great boost to the squad, and hopefully gives the player enough time to settle in ahead of the game against Manchester United this weekend.
