Timo Werner will undergo his medical at Tottenham on Tuesday as the former Chelsea flop flies to London to complete his six-month move from RB Leipzig

Timo Werner is expected to undergo his Tottenham medical on Tuesday after flying to London to complete his move from Red Bull Leipzig.

The 27-year-old will receive a six-month loan with an option to buy for £14.5 million.

The former Chelsea maverick attracted interest from other Premier League clubs but quickly agreed to join Spurs as he sees an opportunity to fit in well with Ange Postecoglou's playing style.

Werner flew back to Germany from the La Manga training camp in Leipzig on Sunday and is expected to start training with his new teammates once he completes his medical treatment.

Spurs will be without Son Heung-min for about a month as he represents South Korea in the Asia Cup, while Alejo Veliz has suffered a knee injury and there is interest from Saudi Arabia for Richarlison, although that is likely to be rebuffed until the summer.

Spurs have agreed to pay his wages of around £4.5million for the remainder of the season.

Manchester United and Aston Villa are said to be among the clubs that had inquired about Werner's availability, but talks with Tottenham gained momentum on Friday.

Spurs defender Ashley Phillips, 18, has joined Plymouth Argyle on loan after signing the highly-rated youngster from Blackburn Rovers this summer.

The teenager signed a five-year deal after joining from the Championship side, and his fee is said to be around £2million.

Phillips enjoyed a breakthrough campaign for Rovers in the Championship last season, making eight appearances and a further six in all competitions.

The highly rated defender has also made several appearances for England at various junior levels over the last two years.
