The Germany international has jetted into London to finalise the moveRex

Spurs have the option to make the move permanent in the summer for around £15million.

German international Werner has only played 204 minutes for Leipzig this season due to injury and other players being ahead of him in the pecking order.

He is desperate for game-time to give himself a shot at going to the Euros this summer.

And RB Leipzig sporting director Mario Gomez suggested that is exactly what the striker will get at Spurs following talks with the North London side.

Ex-Bayern striker Gomez said: “It’s a win-win for everyone.

“Germany benefits from it. We benefit from this because we get a player going.

“He will play regularly, that’s what Tottenham have conveyed to us.”

Spurs are light up top due to Son Heung-min being at the Asian Cup over the next month with South Korea.

Werner’s arrival will ease the situation, while a new centre-back remains a priority.

Spurs are in negotiations with Genoa over Romanian defender Radu Dragusin, 21, but face competition from Bayern Munich and Napoli.

Should Werner finalise his move before Friday, he could very well make his Spurs debut on Sunday afternoon when they travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.
