Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly on the verge of securing a loan deal for German striker Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. The North London club is expected to have an option to purchase the player in the summer for a fee ranging between £13 million and £17 million.
Werner, who struggled to find form during his time with Chelsea, is anticipated to undergo a medical at Hotspur Way before finalizing the move on Sunday. With club captain Son Heung-min set to miss several weeks due to his participation in the Asian Cup, Werner might see immediate game time on the wing, with Richarlison retaining his spot up front. However, upon Son’s return, Werner could vie for the striker position.
Additionally, Spurs are rumored to be eyeing Romanian defender Radu Drăgușin from Serie A side Genoa to bolster their defensive options, as they cope with injuries to players like Christian Romero. The club has also been linked with a potential move for Japanese defender Ko Itakura, a former Manchester City prospect.
