Timo Werner to return to the Premier League with Spurs move imminent
After falling out of favour at Leipzig in his second spell at the club, the German forward is returning to the Premier League to maximise his chances of selection in the German national team at the European Championships in the summer. With Son Heung-Min set to miss the coming month because of national team duty in the AFC Asian Cup, Werner could have significant game time in January.
