Timo Werner’s loan agreement has an option-to-buy clause, and Tottenham Hotspur is allegedly interested in using it. However, the Lilywhites want to make a final choice later in the season.
Having found it difficult to establish a starting position at RB Leipzig in the early going, the 28-year-old was able to temporarily move to North London in January.
Because of Richarlison’s injury and Son Heung-min’s participation for South Korea at the Asian Cup, Werner has had a lot of first-team playing time for the Lilywhites.
The German has made eight Premier League appearances thus far, tallying two goals and dishing out two assists. In the last three games, he has scored twice.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano said that Tottenham has planned their Werner approach in advance of the summer transfer season.
According to the source, Ange Postecoglou’s team is hoping to sign the former Chelsea striker to a long-term contract before the 2024–25 season.
Before making a firm choice, Spurs are said to want to evaluate Werner’s performances before the current campaign ends.
Signing a contract for a loan in North London at the beginning of the season, Werner can be acquired by the Lilywhites in the summer for a sum of £14.5 million.
Since the beginning of March, Werner has been playing well, and it’s thought that he wants to stay at Tottenham until the end of the current campaign.
Short-term goals: the 76-year-old international wants to play well for Spurs the rest of the way so that he can be called up to the Germany national team on a special basis in June.

This summer, Die Mannschaft will host Euro 2024, and Werner will be keen to win over manager Julian Nagelsmann and secure a spot on his 23-man roster.
In recent years, the Spurs loanee has dropped down the hierarchy as attacking players Denis Undav, Kai Havertz, and Niclas Fullkrug have become more popular.
When Tottenham plays relegation-threatened Luton Town on Saturday, Werner and the team will be looking to maintain their hopes of finishing in the top four after their 3-0 loss to Fulham before the international break.
