Financial details emerge as Tottenham close in on first January acquisition

How much would Tottenham be paying to Timo Werner whilst on loan and what buy clause do they have?

Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of a significant transfer coup, securing the services of Timo Werner on a loan deal until the end of the current season.

According to Sky Sports reporter Philipp Hinze, Spurs will be shouldering the full salary of Werner during his stay at the club. This arrangement underscores the club’s intent and financial commitment to bolster their squad in the January transfer window.

The financial aspect of this deal is quite significant for Spurs. Werner’s entire salary, amounting to approximately €5 million (about £4.3 million), will be covered by Tottenham until the summer.

This places Werner among the top earners at Spurs, only behind names like James Maddison, Ivan Perisic, and Son Heung-min, and Tanguy Ndombele if included. This expenditure reflects both the club’s ambition and their belief in Werner’s ability to make an immediate impact.

Moreover, there is an option to make the move permanent. Reports from The Athletic indicate that Tottenham could secure Werner’s services for a fee ranging between £12.9 million and £17.2 million.

This range suggests flexibility and potential value for Spurs, considering Werner’s pedigree and experience at the highest levels of European football​. Philipp Hinze’s report not only sheds light on the financials but also underscores Spurs’ strategy in the transfer market.

By securing Werner on loan with an option to buy, Tottenham has effectively mitigated the risk involved in the transfer. Should Werner adapt well and contribute significantly, Spurs have the opportunity to sign him permanently for a reasonable fee.

On the other hand, if the move doesn’t pan out as expected, the club isn’t bound by a long-term financial commitment. The acquisition of Werner could be a masterstroke by Tottenham. His experience in the Premier League with Chelsea, coupled with his proven track record in the Bundesliga, makes him a potentially valuable asset for Spurs.

As Tottenham Hotspur inch closer to their first major signing of the January window, the financial details of Timo Werner’s loan deal reveal a strategic masterpiece by the club. Let’s hope the loan pays off for us.
