The striker from RB Leipzig is expected to move to North London on a six-month loan, and Tottenham is getting close to signing him.

Fabrizio Romano has in fact stated that the Spurs will have the opportunity to purchase the attacker in the summer.

It’s safe to say that Timo Werner had a difficult experience during his previous stint in England, since his transfer to Chelsea did not go as expected.

The 27-year-old did win three trophies at Stamford Bridge, one of which was the Champions League championship.

He made 89 appearances for the Blues, scoring 23 goals and dishing out 21 assists. Still, Werner was frequently criticized for his lack of innovation in front of goal.

Sporting Lens also reports that Werner was “sceptical” about returning to the Premier League as he approaches a deal to Tottenham.

Postecoglou changed Werner’s mind on Premier League return

Due to his difficult time at Chelsea, the site believes that Werner was hesitant to move to England.

The German striker, though, is expected to join Spurs immediately and might even play on Sunday against Manchester United.

Werner is reported to be a “fan” of London, but what really thrilled him was the idea of getting in touch with Ange Postecoglou.

The way his previous stint at Chelsea ended makes it understandable why Werner was hesitant to return to England.

The Germany international was returned to RB Leipzig for a reported sum of over £25 million following two years of ownership in west London. With 113 goals in 213 games for Leipzig, Werner has a stellar scoring record in Germany.

Despite playing in only eight Bundesliga games this season, he has struggled for minutes. However, considering that Heung-Min Son is presently representing his country at the Asian Cup, this seems like a wise acquisition for Tottenham. The fact that Postecoglou wanted to sign Werner should give Spurs supporters some hope, since he has recently shown to be a major motivator in the team’s recruiting process.
