One of Tottenham Hotspur’s 2025 Europa League winners is attracting interest from two Premier League clubs despite his struggles in North London.
Werner spent 18 months on loan at Spurs before exiting at the end of last season, with the Lilywhites deciding against activating their option to buy the forward.
The 29-year-old ended up playing 27 games for Ange Postecoglou’s men last season, mainly due to the club’s injury crisis.
He had a shocking return of just one goal and three assists in those matches, leaving Tottenham fans very frustrated with his lack of end product.
Two Premier League clubs want to sign Timo Werner despite Tottenham spell
The German international returned to his parent club, RB Leipzig, this summer, but he is not part of the Bundesliga side’s plans.
That is according to a report in Bild, which claims that two clubs are ready to bring him back to the Premier League. The report says that newly promoted duos, Leeds United and Burnley, have expressed an interest in landing Werner.
The duo have now been put off by the forward’s struggles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and want to add his experience to their squad as they attempt to stay up.

However, Bild say that Werner has rejected the approaches from the Clarets and the Whites, and he has also turned down other offers.
The former Tottenham Hotspur man has attracted interest from Italy, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, but none of those proposals have appealed to him.
Werner still has a year left on his contract at the Red Bull Arena, and Bild say that if he does not find a new club before the transfer deadline, he faces spending the next few months on the stands until the January window.
