With the arrival of the Asian Cup and the African Cup of Nations, the main players of the major giants will compete for the country. Tottenham star Son Heung-min has been preparing for the World Cup in Qatar with the South Korean national team. After Kane joined Bayern, Son Heung-min took over the captain's armband of Tottenham, and so far this season Son has scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 20 Premier League games for Tottenham. He is the top scorer in Tottenham's forward line. His absence has had a big impact on Tottenham's attack. After the opening of the winter transfer window, Tottenham are also actively looking for suitable targets in the transfer market as a replacement for Son Heung-min.
According to Fabrizio Romano, who has confirmed with his trademark Here We Go, Leipzig striker Timo Werner, nicknamed the Golden Scout, will join Tottenham on loan for half a season. At his peak, Timo Werner was the second highest scorer in the Bundesliga behind Robert Lewandowski. At its peak, it was worth more than 80 million euros. Timo Werner joined the Blues for £47 million in the summer of 2020 and scored just 10 goals in two seasons with the Blues. The 27-year-old returned to Leipzig from Chelsea for €20 million in the summer window in 2022 and is currently valued at €17 million. This season, Timo Werner has played 14 games for Leipzig, scoring two goals and providing one assist, playing just 386 minutes.
After joining Tottenham, Timo Werner returned to London City to replace Son Heung-min in the Asian Cup and form a forward partnership with Brazilian centre-forward Richarlison. Timo Werner's stats at Chelsea have not been as good as they could have been, and Timo Werner, who has returned to Leipzig, has not found his form in time. It remains to be seen whether he can replace Son Heung-min and ensure Tottenham's attacking efficiency. In terms of departures, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have also been affected by the Africa Cup of Nations and the Asian Cup, with two big defenders Kim Min-jae and Mazraoui set to play in the Asian Cup and Africa Cup of Nations for their respective national teams. This has affected Bayern's defensive rotation a lot. According to exclusive news from British media Football Insider, Bayern Munich could be the world's Tottenham defender Dier for £4.3 million this winter window. It is reported that Kane, the leading striker of Tottenham Hotspur who switched to Bayern this summer, recommended Dier to Bayern's senior management and actively promoted the transfer deal. It is understood that Kane is very keen to reunite with Dier at Bayern, and he has already briefed Dier about his life in Germany, while Bayern have also been in contact with Dier himself to discuss the details of the contract. If all goes well, the deal will be done soon.
Dier had previously spent nine seasons at Tottenham, where he was able to play at centre-back and midfield. Dier has just half a year left on his contract with Tottenham and has only played for Tottenham this season, playing less than 200 minutes in four games. In order to avoid losing both people and money, Tottenham are willing to sell Dier, who has been in decline, to Bayern Munich.
