Premier League: RB Leipzig fürchtet Rückkehr von Timo Werner
Für Timo Werner läuft es in der Premiere League einfach nicht. Der Leih-Vertrag mit den Spurs endet im Sommer – dann kehrt der Ex-DFB-Stürmer zu RB zurück.

Oh dear! Even the last game of the year has not changed anything: For Timo Werner (28) it simply does not work in the Premier League.
The final point of a first round to forget: Of 19 league games, Werner sat on the bench 16 times at the beginning. Three times coach Ange Postecoglou (59) even left him completely out.
Now one fears a return to RB in Leipzig! Werner still has a contract with the Bundesliga team until 2026 - at the latest on the 1st. In July, he should be back on the mat with the Saxons.
Because it is extremely unlikely that Tottenham will draw the purchase option for Werner over 12 million euros. The former top striker is too weak.
Of course, however: An early return to RB Leipzig in the winter is not an issue. Werner should stay at Tottenham until the agreed end of loan in June. Also because Leipzig does not want to bear the approximately 10 million euros annual salary that Werner now earns.
