Tottenham and RB Leipzig reach agreement to bring Timo Werner back to Premier League 16 months after Chelsea exit... with German international set to link-up with his new team-mates imminently!

Tottenham accelerated talks to sign former Chelsea forward Timo Werner on loan from Red Bull Leipzig on Friday.

The former Chelsea misfit had interest from other Premier League sides but quickly agreed to join Spurs as he sees a chance to fit in well with Ange Postecoglou's style of play.

Spurs have agreed to pay his salary of around £4.5million for the rest of the season and have an option to buy the 27-year-old for £15m.

Werner flew back to Germany from Leipzig's La Manga training camp on Sunday and is expected in London to begin training with his new teammates once given the all-clear to travel.
