Werner at the verge of returning to the Premier League

In the next month or so, Tottenham will be without Heung Min Son (31), the best player this season, who is leaving for the Asian Cup of Nations. This means that Angelos Postecoglou has to react urgently and hire a replacement, which is no surprise and could be expected, but what certainly represents a slight shock is the choice of that replacement.

As reported by Florian Plettenberg, Tottenham are already in advanced negotiations with Timo Werner?! The German international is in a big decline, he failed to revive his career by returning to RB Leipzig, so Marco Rose 'cut him short.' However, this clearly does not bother Postecoglou. The experienced expert seems to believe he can 'resurrect' one of the once most sought-after strikers in the world, so there is every chance Werner will get another chance to try his 'feet' at the Premier League.

The German Sky journalist states that the two clubs are in final negotiations and that the details are currently being discussed. One of the most important has already been resolved - Tottenham will take over Timo Werner's entire salary (€5,000,000 for the next half year), but the issue of the buy-out clause remains to be resolved.

At the moment, there is no information on the positions of Leipzig and Tottenham, although we can guess that the Spurs would opt for an optional buyout, and that the German club would be happy to permanently get rid of Werner and his huge salary, the highest in the club.

The former Chelsea player played his last match in the Bundesliga two months ago. He got only 46 minutes in the Champions League, so it is not surprising that he has a really poor performance of only two goals this season. Admittedly, Timo did not make a name for himself even when he got a chance.

Hence, a logical question arises: Can he, as such, replace the absence of Tottenham's top scorer?
