As revealed by Football Insider, the 27-year-old German international is poised to undergo a medical examination at Tottenham Hotspur, signaling the impending finalization of a loan-to-buy agreement with the North London club.

Having spent two seasons at Chelsea before returning to RB Leipzig in the summer of 2022, Werner’s tenure at Chelsea, although marked by a Champions League triumph and contributions to 44 goals in 89 appearances, did not unfold as anticipated, failing to fully showcase his potential.

Despite encountering challenges during his initial stint in the English top flight, the 27-year-old forward is poised for a fresh start, this time with Tottenham Hotspur, as the club’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, envisions a potential role for Werner in fortifying the team’s attacking prowess, even amidst the player’s ongoing struggle to attain top form.

Tottenham’s eagerness to secure additional attacking options has been accentuated by the departure of Harry Kane and the temporary absence of Heung-min Son, who is set to participate in the AFC Asian Cup, thereby necessitating reinforcements in their offensive lineup.

With Werner currently relegated in the pecking order at Leipzig, the club is reportedly poised to offload him, with advanced negotiations in progress between Tottenham and Leipzig, inching closer towards finalizing a loan agreement with an option to subsequently secure the player’s services permanently. According to the report, the potential buyout clause could be in the vicinity of £30 million, as preparations for Werner’s medical examination are currently underway.
