breaking news:Spurs has finally signed him….

Timo Werner, RB Leipzig’s striker, is due to undergo medicals ahead of a loan move to Tottenham.

This was uncovered by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday morning via the X app.

Romano said that both clubs had signed all necessary documents and reached an agreement on a €17 million purchase option.

He tweeted: “Timo Werner is on his way to finishing the last part of his medical testing as a new Tottenham player.

“All documents between Spurs and RB Leipzig are complete and ready for signing. “Buy option clause: €17 million.”

Werner has previously represented Chelsea in the Premier League.

While Werner’s impending return to the Premier League on loan at Tottenham Hotspur has highlighted some of the more difficult times from his two years in London with Chelsea, he has been the target of unwelcome jibes from his days as a juvenile prodigy at Stuttgart.

Werner sighed as he reflected on his quick rise through the Bundesliga ranks: “There is a lot of envy in football.” The quick-footed German admitted to have been “slapped down” by “some of the fans, parts of the media, the coaching staff, or a teammate”.

Werner, like every other Premier League player in today’s hyper-reactive age, will face criticism. Here’s a glimpse at the digits that could be draped across his back while he attempts in vain.

Werner made his Stuttgart debut in 2013 at the age of 17, wearing the number 19, which he would use for the rest of his three seasons in the first team.

Werner’s popularity plummeted far more than his reduced team size following a highly contentious transfer to the much-maligned Bundesliga upstarts RB Leipzig in 2016. Werner was given an 11 that he would come to cherish. Werner was handed the 11 at Chelsea and kept it when he returned to Leipzig in 2022, having worn the same numerals since his senior international debut.

“I think it’s a good number for a striker,” Werner told Chelsea’s official website immediately after Pedro left, allowing him to take up his preferred shirt. “I adore the number 11.

Werner wore the number nine shirt for Germany during the catastrophic 2018 World Cup. Werner started all three games in his country’s group-stage exit and failed to score, forcing only one save from an opposing goalkeeper.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Werner has avoided single-digit squad numbers since. “I love having two numbers on the back,” he revealed. “Having two numbers on my back looks better than having just one.
