Werner returns to the APL once more.
Timo Werner's Loan Move to Tottenham Hotspur Ends Without Permanent Deal
Timo Werner's loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur has come to an end, marking the conclusion of a season that did not yield the desired results. The German forward returned to his parent club, RB Leipzig, in the summer of 2025, following a disappointing stint with Spurs.
Werner, a 27-year-old forward, initially joined Tottenham on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig in the 2024-25 season. His move to the North London club was primarily due to his desire to work with Antonio Conte, the Australian coach.
During his time at Tottenham, Werner managed to score 7 goals and provide 3 assists in 36 Premier League matches. However, his performances for "Die Roten Bullen" this season have been unimpressive, with just 2 goals and 1 assist in 14 matches across all tournaments.
The loan period for Werner with Tottenham ended without a permanent deal, and Tottenham confirmed his departure in their summer 2025 transfer summary. Reports describe his Tottenham spell as unsuccessful, and he returned to RB Leipzig rather than transferring to Tottenham permanently.
There is no news or confirmation regarding a transfer fee, reasons for a possible permanent move, or a buyout option involving Tottenham. Meanwhile, Werner has been in talks about a potential move to the New York Red Bulls in MLS but remains without a finalized contract as of late July 2025.
Werner previously played for another London club, Chelsea, in the English Premier League, where he played for a stint before returning to RB Leipzig in the summer of 2020 for €20 million. During his time at Chelsea, he scored 23 goals and provided 21 assists in 89 games.
As Werner's future at RB Leipzig remains uncertain, fans will be eagerly waiting to see where the talented forward ends up next.
Timo Werner's unsuccessful loan spell with Tottenham Hotspur prevented him from securing a permanent move to the club, and he instead returned to his parent club, RB Leipzig. Despite his disappointing performance in the 2024-25 season, Werner still maintains a strong interest in European leagues, particularly the Premier League.
