Tottenham transfer news: Major update on Timo Werner completing permanent move – sources
Tottenham are yet to make a final decision on signing on-loan forward Timo Werner permanently this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The 28-year-old joined Spurs on a loan deal running until the end of the 2023-24 campaign in January.
It is believed the London club have the option to keep Werner full-time for a fee of around £15million, which is payable to parent club RB Leipzig.
A senior source has told Football Insider that the fee is seen as a potential “bargain” by club chiefs – who value his experience and versatility.
Werner has made nine appearances across all competitions for Tottenham since joining, notching two goals and two assists.
Sources say that the Germany international has settled in well at the club and is a well-liked member of Ange Postecoglou’s squad.
