As negotiations between the clubs reach their final stages, crucial details of the loan deal are being hammered out.

Werner’s challenging second season at RB Leipzig, marked by a meagre two goals in the Bundesliga, has prompted the decision for a loan move. The imminent departure is anticipated to provide Werner with an opportunity to rediscover his goal-scoring form and, notably, vie for a spot in the Germany squad for the upcoming Euros in the summer.
While Manchester United had also expressed interest in acquiring Werner’s services to bolster their striking options for the latter half of the season, it seems Tottenham have successfully outmanoeuvred them in the pursuit of the 27-year-old forward.
