Tottenham will part ways with Tim Werner at the end of the season as the Premier League club have no plans to turn his loan deal into a permanent move.
The German star joined Spurs during the January transfer window and there was an option for the London outfit to keep the winger permanently at the club this summer for a fee of 15 million pounds. Tottenham have decided to extend the 28-year-old’s loan deal for another season in the summer, and that deal would contain a buy-out clause worth just £8.5m.

This is a big blow for the German club and the player he would have been hoping for an easy deal next summer.

Timo Werner is not part of Tottenham’s future plans
Werner initially looked like he could be a useful tool for Tottenham as the German star’s energy suited Postecoglou’s intense attacking style of play.
