Werner has been tipped to fly over to England either at the weekend or tonight and he is expected to put the finishing touches on a deal to join Spurs on loan.

Exciting times for Spurs fans

While there will be some reservations from some at Tottenham about the signing of Timo Werner, there is no doubt this is an exciting season to be a supporter.

Ange Postecoglou has got his team right in the mix for the top four and even the title and adding new players was always going to be key in January.

With Werner now looking like it’s over the line, that’s a good start to the window.

The German will hope to have a big impact and show those at Chelsea he can succeed in England.

Key for Tottenham now is ensuring they back this signing up with more. It would be a nightmare if they now miss on out Dragusin, so that one needs sorting.

Likewise, another midfielder may also be on the agenda before the month ends.
