Timo Werner was missing. When his teammates were already preparing for the Bundesliga restart without him, RB Leipzig’s hapless national striker was toiling away on a side pitch in the training camp in La Manga, Spain. At the same time, Werner’s agents negotiated the final contract details with Tottenham Hotspur. In order to somehow get on the bandwagon towards the home European Championship, Werner is drawn back to the island.
“Timo wants match practice, which I can’t guarantee him at the moment. He wants to go to the European Championships, and maybe it will help us if he comes back in top condition under certain circumstances,” said RB coach Marco Rose after the 1-0 win in the Test against FC St. Gallen: “We wish him all the best and keep our fingers crossed that he gets back on his feet there and gains self-confidence. That’s the most important thing for him.”
After a transfer to Manchester United was initially discussed in the media, it will now be Spurs. Leipzig’s technical director Mario Gomez indirectly confirmed what numerous media had previously reported Sport1-Interview. “It’s a win-win for everyone,” said the 38-year-old: “Germany benefits from it. We benefit from it because we get a player going. He will play regularly, that’s what Tottenham has conveyed to us.”
He will be loaned there until the end of the season, although according to media reports there will be an option to buy. “I have the feeling that the change in air is good for him,” said Rose. Under him, Werner was no longer part of the regular formation. Lois Openda, Yussuf Poulsen and Benjamin Sesko are all ahead.
