£21m star gives Spurs green light as talks progress over post-Werner deal.
The 71-capped international has been given the green light to join Tottenham, if the Lilywhites can reach an agreement with his club, as talks progress over their potential second summer signing after Timo Werner.
Werner seals loan extension in Spurs’ first transfer deal After a promising second half of the 2023/24 season on loan at Spurs from RB Leipzig, the north London side have opted to extend Werner’s temporary deal until the end of next campaign.
Ange Postecoglou will bring the Germany striker back into his ranks for the 2024/2025 season, and like the latest deal with Leipzig, Spurs have the option to make it permanent if they decide to.
The original January deal had an option to buy Werner for around £15m, but chairman Daniel Levy and his team renegotiated the loan clause and secured that option for around £8.
5m – which looks like a bargain from Spurs.
The 28-year-old had two goals and three assists in 13 Premier League appearances for Postecoglou’s side last season, and Werner had some excellent performances.
His blistering pace, combined with Werner’s fit with Postecoglou’s system at Tottenham, has led the club to keep him for another year.
“I see how good the club is, how good a team we are and also my view of the team, which makes this a very good place,” Werner said of his choice in Tottenham again.
“When I got the call from the manager, it was clear to me that this is someone who is behind you 100% if he wants you and that was the most important thing to me at that time.
Also, the idea of how he wanted to play and the way he explained it to me suited me very well.
The players are all very good so that makes it easier for me.
I feel very good here.
I like him a lot.
” With Postecoglou making his first signing of the summer with Werner, attention now turns to who could succeed the former Chelsea star.
Tottenham are also eyeing a striker have a pure, simple way to replace Harry Kane, and they have been linked with 71-year-old Moroccan Youssef En-Nesyri this week Spurs are said to be interested in signing En-Nesyri after as the striker scored an impressive 20 goals in all competitions for Sevilla last season, with Vamos Mi Sevilla now sharing an update on the matter.
En-Nesyri gives Tottenham the green light to negotiate with Sevilla According to Spanish media, En-Nesyri will agree to join Tottenham and negotiate with Sevilla to reach an agreement.
Despite previous claims that he would cost £26m, VMS claim the World Cup semi-finalist could actually leave for a lower fee of around £21m.
The 27-year-old’s track record and experience on the biggest stages make this money look like a bargain, so it will be interesting to see whether this claim starts to gain weight.
