According to Alasdair Gold, Timo Werner is set to arrive in North London later today and finalize his loan move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham have moved rapidly to add a fresh wide attacker to their roster this month. Spurs‘ interest in Timo Werner was first reported over the weekend by Sky Sports Germany writer Florian Plettenberg.
Since then, we’ve learned more about the potential transaction, which will see Spurs cover Werner’s salary until the end of the season. According to The Athletic, if Spurs wanted to keep him, the 27-year-old would be available to sign permanently for between £12.9-17.2 million.
According to Philipp Hinze, Ange Postecoglou personally wanted Werner to join the club in order to strengthen his attacking areas. Similarly, Werner was eager to work with Spurs manager Fabrizio Romano.
According to The Standard, Werner will complete his physical in the early part of this week and will most likely be available to play for Spurs against Manchester United this weekend.
Timo Werner arrives at Spurs tonight.
It appears that we are nearing the end of this brief pursuit, with Spurs’ immediate future looking bright. The next steps are evident, as Alasdair Gold provides an update on the issue.
Gold wrote on his Twitter account: “Understand Timo Werner will arrive at Spurs this evening to begin all of the process ahead of his move.”

I believe we will receive confirmation of Werner’s signing tomorrow, assuming all goes smoothly tonight. This will be a significant addition to the squad, and the player should have ample time to adjust before facing Manchester United this weekend.
