Tottenham have made a shock move to bolster their forward line with the loan signing of Timo Werner from RB Leipzig.
The move comes at a crucial time for Spurs, who are without their top scorer Son Heung-min who has joined up with his national team ahead of the Asia Cup.
Heung-min could miss up to five matches over the next month, the fixtures of which include a potential fourth-round FA Cup tie. With youngster Alejo Veliz also on the treatment table, it's clear why the club are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements.
Werner is no stranger to the Premier League, having previously spent two underwhelming years at Chelsea. He has since returned to Germany and has been faring no better at RB Leipzig, scoring only twice in 14 appearances this season.
Despite his lack of form, Werner had been attracting interest from Manchester United. However, according to Sky Germany, Spurs are close to sealing a loan deal for the 27-year-old who is primed to leave RB's winter training camp.
This could be a huge move for Spurs, whose forward line is in desperate need of a spark. The club will be hoping Werner can rediscover his once prolific form and become the goal scorer they desperately need. More to follow...
