Tottenham Hotspurs have made a major statement in their conquest for a maiden Premier League title as they have signed former Chelsea forward Timo Werner on a season-long loan deal from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.

The confirmation of the transfer was made by renowned Italian journalist and transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano and was later made official in a statement released by Spurs. The deal will run till the end of the current season and the contract does have a buy-back clause worth 17 million euros.
Timo Werner was delighted by the trust shown in him buy the Spurs faithful as he will aim to better his Premier League statistics in his second stint in the richest football league in the world, after a not-so-memorable tenure at London rivals, Chelsea F.C.
"The manager straight away gave me the feeling that I needed to join the Club, and the way the team plays fits me perfectly,” said Timo Werner in his first interview as a Spurs player. Timo will be wearing the number 16 shirt at the club.
Timo Werner's Premier League Profile
Timo Werner joined Chelsea F.C. from RB Leipzig in 2020 after a memorable time at the German club, which made him one of the hottest transfer targets back then. He came at Chelsea on the bank of a huge reputation and delivered it perfectly with a second UEFA Champions League for the club but not by scoring goals, but with his astonishing off-the-ball movement and incisive runs into the oppositions' half that created spaces in the defence and split the man marking of the defenders. However, such qualities didn't compensate enough for the torrid time the German had in front of goal as he merely managed 10 goals in 56 appearances across two seasons at the Stamford Bridge.
