Spurs reveal deadline to sign Timo Werner on permanent deal.

Tottenham Hotspur have a deadline to make Timo Werner’s loan deal permanent and beefing up their attack with new forwards will be a focus of the close season, manager Ange Postecoglou revealed.

Werner scored two goals in 13 league games after signing on loan in January from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig but missed Tottenham’s final matches of the season with a hamstring strain.

“I think from our perspective, there’s a deadline there,” Postecoglou told reporters in Melbourne following a friendly against Newcastle United.

“Again, a lot of that will depend on the negotiations between the clubs and how Timo feels. From my perspective, I’m comfortable with that situation, and I’ll let the other guys steer it to see what kind of outcome there is.”
