RB LEIPZIG MANAGER Marco Rose has wished forward Timo Werner all the best ahead of his anticipated loan move to Tottenham.
Spurs have moved for the former Chelsea attacker to bolster their options up front, especially with captain Son Heung-min being away at the Asian Cup with South Korea for the next month.
Werner’s current club Leipzig revealed on Saturday he was not involved in their friendly with St Gallen due to transfer talks and Rose has now confirmed his imminent six-month loan to Tottenham.
Rose told Sky Germany: “It’s right that Timo wants to go on loan. Timo would like to go to the European Championship.
“We wish him all the best and are keeping our fingers crossed for him.”
Germany international Werner will return to the Premier League with unfinished business after two mixed years at Chelsea, where he scored 23 goals in 89 appearances.
