Timo Werner has joined Tottenham on loan until the end of the season – with Spurs having an option to buy RB Leipzig striker for £15m

Timo Werner has joined Tottenham Hotspur on loan from RB Leipzig until the end of the 2023-24 season. 

The move bolsters Tottenham’s options in attack, with Son Heung-min away on international duty with South Korea at the Asian Cup. 

Werner brings Premier League experience to the north London side, having played for London rivals Chelsea between 2020 and 2022, where he scored 23 times in 89 appearances for the Blues. 

Spurs have included an option to buy the German international in the summer for a fee believed to be £15million. 

The loan deal is subject to international clearance, but Werner could be in line to make his Tottenham debut against Manchester United on January 14.  

After completing his move back to London, Werner said: ‘I’m very happy to be here. I’ve joined a very, very big club. 

‘The talk with the manager was a really, really good talk. He straightaway gave me the feeling of what I need to join a club and what I want to feel when you talk to a manager. 

‘Also, the tactics, the style, how he wants to play and lets the team play – for me I thought straightaway that it fits perfectly. 

‘I hope I can be the best player I can be here. I can play every position up front. One of my strengths is to be flexible up front. 

‘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.’
