Werner will undergo his medical at Spurs on Tuesday as the star flies to London

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

The 27-year-old will join on a six month loan with an option to buy at £14.5million.

The former Chelsea misfit had interest from other Premier League sides but quickly agreed to join Spurs as he sees a chance to fit in well with Ange Postecoglou's style of play.

Werner flew back to Germany from Leipzig's La Manga training camp on Sunday and is expected begin training with his new teammates once completing his medical.

Spurs will be without Son Heung-min for around 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 in Richarlison, though that is likely to be rebuffed until the summer.

Spurs have agreed to pay his salary of around £4.5million for the rest of the season.

Manchester United and Aston Villa were understood to be among the clubs who had sounded out about Werner's availability but talks with Tottenham accelerated on Friday.

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

The teenager signed a five-year contract after joining from the Championship side, and his fee was believed to be around £2m.

Phillips enjoyed a breakout campaign for Rovers last term in the Championship, featuring eight times with a further six appearances across all competitions.

The highly-rated defender has also made several appearances for England across various junior levels over the past two years.
