Timo Werner Set to Join Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur is closing in on the signing of Timo Werner, the Chelsea flop. The German striker is expected to join Spurs on loan from RB Leipzig, with an option to buy him in the summer for a fee between £13million and £17m. Werner is likely to have a medical at Hotspur Way before completing the move on Sunday.

Immediate Game Time for Werner

Tottenham's club captain, Son Heung-min, will be absent for several weeks this month due to his participation in the Asian Cup. This opens the door for Werner to potentially make an immediate impact under manager Ange Postecoglou. He could start on the wing, with Richarlison maintaining his position upfront. However, once Son returns, Werner could have the opportunity to take on the striker role.

Potential New Centre-Back: Radu Drăgușin

In addition to Werner, Tottenham is also eyeing a move for defender Radu Drăgușin from Serie A outfit Genoa. With Micky van de Ven and Christian Romero returning from injury, Drăgușin could potentially slot in next to either of them when they rejoin the team. This would provide much-needed support to the struggling defense, which has relied heavily on full-backs Ben Davies and Emerson Royal.

Interest in Ko Itakura

Furthermore, there have been rumors linking Tottenham to another defender, Ko Itakura. The former Manchester City prospect, who has impressed since joining Borussia Monchengladbach, has caught the attention of manager Ange Postecoglou. Itakura is said to be a long-term target, with Postecoglou closely monitoring his progress during his time at Celtic.

Tottenham's potential new signings could bring a fresh look to the team, providing much-needed firepower in attack and bolstering the defense. With Timo Werner and Radu Drăgușin potentially joining the squad, Spurs fans will be eagerly awaiting their impact on the pitch.
