Timo Werner reportedly has no future at RB Leipzig and is eager to move permanently to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, according to Sport Bild.
The forward joined Tottenham in the summer transfer window from RB Leipzig, with many people thinking his move back to the Premier League will not work.
But the Lilywhites have certainly made a great move by adding another reliable attacking option to their lineup at no additional expense.
Werner has been a hit at Tottenham
The former Chelsea attacker has made 10 league appearances since his move and he has made five goal contributions as Spurs are fighting for a place in the top four of the Premier League.
Bild state that Spurs would need to exercise the €17 million (£14.5 million) option to sign Werner by June 14 in order to confirm what has previously been reported by other publications.
The explanation is that the Bundesliga team established this early deadline so they could know for sure what the forward’s future holds and arrange their summer business accordingly.
