Timo Werner (27)'s schedule for Tottenham Hotspur has been confirmed. Arrival in London was completed on the evening of the 8th local time, and the medical test will be conducted on the 9th. An official announcement is expected to be made soon.
European transfer market expert Fabricio Romano said on the 9th (Korean time), "The final amount of Tottenham's purchase option clause for Werner is 17 million euros (about 24.5 billion won). This is not mandatory, and Tottenham will decide in June. “It is something that can be done,” he announced.
In addition, Florian Plettenberg of Germany's 'Sky Sports' said on the 9th, "The final contract details between Tottenham and Leipzig have become clear. Werner is scheduled to arrive in London this evening. The medical test is expected to take place on Tuesday and the paperwork is completed. "This has been completed. A purchase option has been set for between 17 and 18 million euros (about 26 billion won) on a six-month lease. Tottenham has guaranteed regular playing time for Werner," he explained.
According to local reports, Werner arrived in London on the evening of the 8th local time, and the medical test will be conducted on the 9th. After that, an official announcement will be made.
Werner, a German national, was a top striker during his first season at Leipzig. He had 21 goals and 7 assists in 32 games in the 2016-17 season, 21 goals and 10 assists in 45 games in the 2017-18 season, 19 goals and 10 assists in 37 games in the 2018-19 season, and 34 goals and 13 assists in 45 games in the 2019-20 season.
Werner, who was caught on the big club's radar, wore a Chelsea uniform in the summer of 2020, and from then on the dark days began. He missed numerous scoring opportunities due to frequent offsides and missed big chances, and ended up scoring 23 goals in 89 games over two seasons. Considering the transfer fee of 47.5 million pounds (approximately 79 billion won), it was clear that the statistics were disappointing.
Ultimately, he was sent packing from Chelsea and returned to his 'home team' Leipzig in the summer of 2022. A British outlet reported at the time: "Werner is prepared to take a massive pay cut to leave Chelsea this summer. He has struggled since arriving at Stamford Bridge. Werner is ready to halve his wages to return to the German Bundesliga. “He said. Mike McGrath of the Telegraph explained, "There is an atmosphere of confidence in the deal that will see Werner move from Chelsea to Leipzig. Negotiations are ongoing. Werner wants a team where he can play rather than get paid every day."
The first season of the second season was quite impressive. He succeeded in making a comeback with 16 goals and 6 assists in 40 official games. In particular, he contributed greatly to the team's victory in the DFB Pokal with 5 goals and 1 assist.
However, problems arose starting this season. He played 14 games until the winter break, but played only 386 minutes. Opportunities to play were limited as he became the fourth-choice striker behind Royce Offenda, Yussuf Poulsen, and Benjamin Sheshko. His attack points were also low with 2 goals and 1 assist, and he was recently only on the bench list.
After a season and a half, he was placed on the release list again, and multiple Premier League clubs sent love calls. Tottenham, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle were mentioned.
The final destination was decided to be Tottenham. It started on the 6th. Plettenberg of Germany's Sky Sports said: "Werner is on the verge of joining Tottenham. Tottenham want to sign him on a six-month loan. Leipzig and Tottenham are in final negotiations. They are trying to clarify several clauses, including the option to buy. “Werner is preparing to leave the Leipzig break training camp.”
In addition, Matt Law of the British Telegraph said, "Tottenham are moving to sign former Chelsea forward Werner. It could be a shocking signing. Werner is eager to return to London and could go to Tottenham for the rest of the season. Tottenham and Leipzig make a move. “We are discussing it,” he said.
Romano, a European transfer market expert who is the ‘king of public confidence,’ also reported the news. On the 6th, he said, "Tottenham are finalizing Werner's loan. Final details have been discussed. Werner is not included in the Leipzig squad and is scheduled to go to London within 24 or 48 hours." Along with "HERE WE GO" announcing the transfer confirmation, "Werner is going to Tottenham. An agreement has been reached with Leipzig and all documents are ready. Tottenham signed a loan contract without a mandatory signing clause. Werner will soon go to London to undergo a medical. “We do tests,” he said.
