Tottenham Hotspur eyeing permanent deal for Chelsea flop

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to trigger the buy clause in the loan contract of RB Leipzig star Timo Werner.

The Germany international joined Spurs on a short-term loan from Leipzig in January. As part of the deal, Spurs can purchase him for €17m.

The north London giants are already looking at the option of triggering the fee, considering his impressive performances in recent weeks.

The 28-year-old has registered two goals and two assists from 10 games for the club and he has been a quality presence when on the field.

Werner had second thoughts of returning to the Premier League after his frustrating time at Chelsea where he missed many scoring chances.

He has had similar moments at Spurs since his move, but the fans have been appreciative over his performances during his temporary stint.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has spoken about the positive impact from the German and it is only a matter of time before they secure his services for the long-term.
