RB Leipzig director says Tottenham told him how much Timo Werner will play
Timo Werner is set to get lots of action under Ange Postecoglou, with RB Leipzig’s technical director Mario Gomez describing the move as a win-win for all parties.
In a surprising turn of events this month, Timo Werner looks set to be Tottenham’s first signing of the January transfer window.
The former Chelsea man will join Spurs on a six-month loan deal, with the Lilywhites paying his salary until the end of the season. There is also an option-to-buy included in the deal, which could see Tottenham sign Werner permanently for between £12.9-17.2m (The Athletic).
According to Alasdair Gold, Werner will arrive in London tonight, January 8, to complete the necessary steps and medical assessment in order to conclude the deal.
We already know that Spurs boss, Ange Postecoglou, was a ‘big advocate’ for the signing, and made it clear Werner is a player he ‘really wants’ in his side (Philipp Hinze). Likewise, Werner himself is thought to consider himself perfect for Postecoglou’s system (Fabrizio Romano).
Werner will play regularly for Postecoglou
Those ideas certainly track with with the comments of RB Leipzig technical director, Mario Gomez, who has revealed his club have been assured Werner will get regular playing time at Spurs.
Gomez told German outlet Sport1: “It’s a win-win for everyone. Germany benefits from it. We benefit from this because we get a player going. He will play regularly, that’s what Tottenham have conveyed to us.”
It is thought that Werner will, at the very least, fill the void left behind by Spurs skipper Heung-min Son over the next month, while he competes in the Asia Cup with South Korea.

If Werner can start strong at Spurs, he will not only provide cover for Sonny, he will be the first-choice left winger. That will spell bad news for the likes of Richarlison and Bryan Gil, but it will be very interesting to see how the competition for places in the attack plays out.
