Tottenham Hotspur have a decision to make in the summer regarding Timo Werner, but the club is yet to make up its mind whether to keep hold of the German winger or not.
In a rather surprising January transfer move, Spurs snapped up former Chelsea star Timo Werner on a six-month loan deal. The switch includes a £15m purchase option (Sky Sports).
Werner has made a promising start to life in North London, registering two goals and two assists in his first eight games for the Lilywhites (Transfermarkt).
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has described Werner as having an ‘important’ impact on the squad since he arrived at the club (Football.London), particularly in the way he covered for the absence of Heung-min Son.
Journalist Dean Jones has already suggested it is a ‘no brainer’ that Spurs should sign Werner permanently, but Fabrizio Romano has claimed the Lilywhites are not quite sure what to do.
Now, sources at Football Insider have reiterated the latter, stating a final decision has not yet been made on the future of Werner.
It is thought the “experience and versatility” Werner offers are valuable, and that Spurs executives regard the £15m purchase fee as a “bargain”.
Apparently, the 28-year-old has settled in well and is “well-liked” among the Spurs squad. However, no “final decision” has been made by those in charge at Tottenham as to whether that purchase option will be taken up this summer.
Spurs Web Opinion
I’m leaning towards the idea we should keep Werner. He offers enough to be a useful asset in our squad, with dangerous runs and a good work rate. His finishing leaves a little to be desired, but for £15m I think he’s worth having in the squad as he will bring decent depth in the wide areas.
