LONDON (AFP) – Timo Werner returned to the Premier League on Tuesday after the German international joined Tottenham on loan for the rest of the season from RB Leipzig.
The 27-year-old struggled to shine during a two-year spell at Chelsea between 2020 and 2022 after a GBP45 million move.
Werner scored 23 times in 89 appearances, but did help the Blues lift the Champions League in 2021.
Spurs are in need of attacking reinforcements with captain Son Heung-min away at the Asian Cup for the next month.
“A lot of things attracted me here,” Werner told Tottenham’s in-house media channels.
“First of all, the talk with the manager. I thought it was a really good talk. He gave me straight away the feeling that I need to join a club, what I want to feel when you talk to a manager and also the tactics and the style, how he wants to play, how he lets the team play.
“For me I thought straight away that it fits perfectly. Then the stadium, to play there every game is something special and also the team, I think we have some very good players. All of it was very interesting to me.”
