Timo Werner rejects Man Utd, chooses Tottenham Hotspurs.

The Daily Mail reports that Tottenham Hotspurs have surprisingly taken the lead in the loan deal for Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. Initially, the German striker was reportedly very close to joining Manchester United. Additionally, Aston Villa also wanted to add a speedy attacking player to share the workload with Watkins.

However, Timo Werner has shown interest in manager Ange Postecoglu's plans. If RB Leipzig and Tottenham quickly finalize the loan terms, Timo Werner will soon fly to England for a medical examination. The final issue between the two clubs is whether the loan agreement includes a mandatory purchase clause at the end of the season.

Timo Werner is set to join Tottenham.

According to writer Sami Mokbel, Timo Werner could significantly increase Tottenham's squad depth. Son Heung-min has returned to his national team for the 2023 Asian Cup. The striker, born in 1992, will be absent in January, and Richarlison alone is not enough to carry the Spurs' attack. The London club is in desperate need of a new attacking option on the left flank. Tottenham Hotspurs are ready to enter the race for a Champions League spot next season.

Timo Werner's rejection of Man Utd is understandable given the club's current turmoil. Even the future of manager Erik ten Hag is uncertain. The Red Devils have just welcomed Sir Jim Ratcliffe as a shareholder and sporting manager. Many more significant changes are expected at Old Trafford in the near future.

However, Man Utd should probably look for a more practical and suitable target. In fact, Timo Werner is not in good form in the Bundesliga, having scored only 2 goals in 14 appearances and losing his starting position to Openda at RB Leipzig.

Man Utd need a major boost in attack instead of an inconsistent striker. Roberto Firmino and Karim Benzema are being linked with the Red Devils as both stars are struggling in the Saudi Arabian league. The Premier League transfer window closes on February 1st.
