WHAT RB LEIPZIG SAID

Werner, linked for weeks with a return to the Premier League, will join his former club's rivals, Spurs. The German forward will offer his new boss Ange Postecoglou another much-needed option up-front with captain <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/how-many-games-will-heung-min-son-miss-for-tottenham-due-to-asian-cup-2023/bltbf75c9a6514c34a3" target="_blank">Son Heung-min set to miss a number of weeks</a> due to international commitments at the 2023 Asian Cup. Werner will hope he can perform better in north London than he did in his two years in the west of the capital, though, having posted just 23 goals in 89 appearances for the Blues.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The loan move is still subject to completion, but Werner will hope to make his Premier League return against Manchester United next weekend - a side <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/timo-werner-man-utd-erik-ten-hag-chelsea-flop-january-transfer-window/blt724dfbf4dbeacab6" target="_blank">he had been linked with in recent weeks.</a>
