Chelsea flop Timo Werner 'will cause havoc' for Tottenham, claims Paul Merson, but only 'if he can time his runs right' as the German international closes in on a Premier League return with Ange Postecoglou's side

Paul Merson believes Timo Werner could cause 'havoc' at Spurs if the German makes the move back to the Premier League.

Werner is said to be close to making a return to England, with Tottenham set to sign the former Chelsea forward on a six-month loan deal from RB Leipzig.

With Son Heung-min away at the Asian Cup and Ange Postecoglou's Spurs team suffering a slew of injuries, they have turned to the 27-year-old to bolster their attacking options.

He will move to North London for the remainder of the season, with a reported option of a permanent deal at the end of the campaign.
