Report: Postecoglou is ‘likely to take advantage’ to sign 28-year-old for Spurs this summer
Ange Postecoglou has been very impressed by Timo Werner since the German joined Tottenham Hotspur on loan, and it is believed the club will now look to make his stay in North London permanent.
Timo Werner made a surprise move to Tottenham in the January transfer window, with a loan move until the end of the season. The deal includes a £15m purchase option for Spurs (Sky Sports).
The 28-year-old has made a good start to life with Spurs, too. After scoring again at the weekend, Werner now has two goals and two assists in seven games for the Lilywhites (Transfermarkt).
It has been widely reported that Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham coaching staff are happy with Werner and the attitude he has arrived at the club with (Independent).
Postecoglou described how ‘important’ Werner has been, especially in covering for the absence of Heung-min Son at the start of the year (Football.London).
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have not quite made a decision on whether they want to keep Werner beyond this season, but it is thought he will not be staying with RB Leipzig regardless.
Ange Postecoglou wants to keep Timo Werner
Now, the latest from GiveMeSport suggests Postecoglou is getting closer to deciding he wants to keep Werner long-term, with Spurs keen to take advantage of the purchase option they negotiated in January.
It is said that Spurs are looking at other wingers to sign in the summer, but any of those targets will not “have an impact” on the idea of singing Werner, too.
Apparently, it is now believed Postecoglou “is likely to take advantage” of the situation and sign Werner permanently after the player has been in “eye-catching” form.
Spurs Web Opinion
For £15m, I think Werner is a no-brainer at this point. He’s got experience, he’s a dangerous player, and he’s a great option to have in the squad.
