Timo Werner has made an impression at Tottenham since joining on loan, so here’s a look at everything you need to know about the forward.
Timo Werner has had an unpredictable career so far, following some big moves that have come and gone. The forward came through at VfB Stuttgart, before switching to another Bundesliga side in RB Leipzig.
While there, Werner gained plenty of attention for his immense pace and ability to finish clear cut chances. Some of these were on the biggest stage in Europe, the Champions League, and led to his next big move.
Chelsea swooped to land the German international, but he couldn’t quite settle into the Premier League. After two seasons, a return to RB Leipzig was confirmed but even that has been tough as he struggled to get into the team.
That’s where a switch to Tottenham has come in, with a six-month loan spell in 2024 offering a chance to return to his best. There’s also an opportunity to stay beyond that initial loan, which could bolster the Spurs ranks.
So with that said, here’s a look at everything you need to know about Timo Werner.

Timo Werner was born on 6 March, 1996, making him currently 28-years-old. The forward was born in Stuttgart, which is in the south of Germany and is where he would make his breakthrough into senior football. Werner is five feet and eleven inches tall.

Timo Werner Tottenham transfer and clause
Timo Werner joined Tottenham in January 2024 in a surprise loan move until the end of the season. The 28-year-old looked to bolster the Spurs ranks as part of their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
While it was an initial loan deal, Sky Sports claims there is an option of a permanent transfer in the summer. The agreement is set at £15million, which could see the German international sign up for longer.

Timo Werner Fortnite
Timo Werner went viral on social media for his discussion surrounding the popular online video game Fortnite. During his time at Chelsea, the forward was asked how he spends his time, saying he plays Fortnite.
This led to the clip being used multiple times on the internet throughout videos online.
