Fabrizio Romano reports that Tottenham are advancing in talks to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig on another one-year loan deal this summer.
Spurs completed a six-month loan deal for Werner in a shock January transfer, with the former Chelsea striker playing a prominent role in Ange Postecoglou’s attack.
The German international featured 13 times in the Premier League for Spurs in the second half of the season and contributed five goals and assists during that time (TransferMarkt).
However, it appears that Spurs fans could be seeing plenty more of Werner in a Lilywhite jersey next season, with the club currently in talks with RB Leipzig over a continuation of the loan.
Timo Werner inches closer to one-year Tottenham loan
Romano reports that the new loan deal would run from July 2024 to June 2025 and would include the same terms as the original six-month loan.
Werner earns around £165,000 per week (Spotrac) and Tottenham did have an option to sign him permanently for £15m this summer, but seemingly prefer another loan move.
The Italian journalist even went as far as to say that Werner is ‘now expected to stay at Spurs’.
Romano tweeted: ‘EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham advance in talks to keep Timo Werner at the club for one more season, extending loan from RB Leipzig. New loan deal would be valid from July 2024 to June 2025 with same conditions of loan deal agreed in January. Werner, now expected to stay at Spurs’.

Spurs Web Opinion:
It seems like a bit of a no-brainer for Tottenham. Werner made an instant impact in just six months at the club, so having him as an option for a whole season will be helpful. I still expect Spurs to make another signing or two across the front line though.
