Tottenham are yet to make any significant movement in the January transfer window, despite having a squad that is suffering from a raft of injury problems.
One of the players who is out happens to be Timo Werner, who missed the club’s 3-2 win over Hoffenheim in the Europa League yesterday.
There is now a possibility that the German could end up departing Tottenham before the end of the January transfer window.
Gazzetta dello Sport have reported on Napoli’s interest in the 28-year-old, who is on loan at Tottenham from RB Leipzig.
The Italian side are still hunting for replacements for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. While Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi happens to be their latest temptation after struggles to sign Alejandro Garnacho, Werner is seen as a Plan B option by them.
The idea of signing the German ‘remains alive’. That is because the versatile forward will not be injured for long and is expected to return in the next ten days. Initially, it was believed that he would be out for a longer period of time and that dampened Napoli interest.
The latest injury update is seen as ‘encouraging’ by Napoli, who held talks with Tottenham last week. Those talks will start again soon.
The Naples club would like to sign Werner only on a six-month-long loan deal, if their move for Adeyemi does not take off.
