Source: Spurs in talks to loan Leipzig striker Timo Werner

Tottenham are in talks with RB Leipzig over a six-month loan deal for forward Timo Werner that would see him return to the Premier League, a source has told ESPN.

The news of the move was first reported by Sky Germany, who say the move could be completed in the coming days with Werner bolstering Spurs' attack through to the end of the season.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou will be without star forward Son Heung-Min while he competes at the Asian Cup duty with South Korea, and if the move goes through, Werner will bring a further versatile threat to their attacking options as he can play off the left and through the middle.
