Tottenham seal second loan deal for Timo Werner

Tottenham have brought RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner back to the club on loan.

Werner joined Spurs in January on a six-month loan and made 14 appearances, scoring twice whilst also providing three assists for Ange Postecoglou’s team.

Ex-Chelsea attacker Werner has put pen to paper on a season-long loan move to bolster Postecoglou’s options ahead of the club’s return to Europe next season.

An option for Spurs to sign Werner on a permanent basis has been included in this new deal for a fee of 10million euros (currently £8.5m), the PA news agency understands.

Earlier on Tuesday, Tottenham also announced back-up goalkeeper Brandon Austin had signed a new five-year contract.

Austin, 25, has progressed through Spurs’ academy and appeared several times in matchday squads, but failed to make his senior debut for the Premier League side so far.
