Revealed: MLS club in talks to sign Tottenham star, current deal could be terminated | OneFootball

Sources have told CaughtOffside that MLS club New York Red Bulls have held talks over signing Tottenham forward Timo Werner.

The Germany international is currently on loan at Spurs from RB Leipzig, and it seems that deal could be terminated in order to allow the player to make the move to the US.

Werner has struggled during his time on loan at Tottenham, just as he also previously flopped in another spell in the Premier League with Chelsea.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it seems Tottenham are open to cancelling Werner’s loan deal, while Leipzig are also understood to be prepared to let the 28-year-old join New York Red Bulls.

CaughtOffside understands Werner’s management have been approached by the MLS giants, though an agreement has not yet been 100% finalised.

Spurs fans surely won’t be too disappointed to see Werner go, with the former Chelsea man undoubtedly struggling badly during his time in north London.

THFC need to be aiming higher than this, so if they offload Werner this January perhaps that can give Ange Postecoglou some room to strengthen his squad with a new signing in attack.

Spurs have often found themselves a little overly reliant on Son Heung-min to provide that spark up front, but it’s probably not sustainable to carry on like that without giving their star player more support.

The likes of James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson have had some good moments, but it’s been a pretty inconsistent campaign overall from pretty much everyone at the club.

Werner certainly doesn’t look good enough, so Tottenham would do well to bring his time at the club to an end and to try to bring in an upgrade if possible.
