Spurs to strike Werner

According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Spurs were in advance talks on Saturday (Jan 6) with the German player who is currently with RB Leipzig, enjoying his second stint with the side. He was not included in the Leipzig squad for their friendly clash against St. Gallen. Manager Marco Rose also confirmed Werner’s departure from the side with not enough football played during the first half of the season. Spurs will sign the 27-year-old on loan and will cover his entire salary with the deal lasting until June 30.

Werner’s arrival at the club will be a major boost for the Tottenham side as they are currently fifth in the Premier League. They are firmly in the race for the top four finish while also standing an outside chance to win the Premier League title. Currently, Spurs are six points behind league leaders Liverpool while they are one point adrift of fourth-placed Arsenal.

Spurs working on Dragusin

While the Werner deal is almost done, Spurs will be keen to switch their attention to other signings with Genoa’s Dragusin on their shopping list. The Romanian has been with the club since the start of November and could be a Spurs player if there are no last-minute surprises.

Napoli and Juventus are also interested in the player and have made their move, but the player remains interested in a switch to North London. If the Dragusin deal does go ahead, Eric Dier could leave the camp for Bayern Munich as the German record champions remain keen to add him.
