Which means at the end of his loan spell, Spurs will have the option to sign him on a permanent deal for a fee close to £15m.
Werner’s initial loan move to Tottenham during the winter transfer window has proven fruitful for both parties.
Since his arrival, the German forward has made a significant impact on the team’s attacking play, showcasing his quality whether starting games or coming on as a substitute.
In his brief time at Spurs thus far, Werner has impressed, contributing two goals and three assists in just 13 appearances.

However, with Timo Werner now likely to stay, how thist impacts Tottenham’s plans for signing another left sided attacker remains to be seen.
As negotiations progress, Tottenham fans eagerly await confirmation of Werner’s extended loan deal, hoping his continued presence will further strengthen the team’s attack next season.
