Fulham frontrunners to sign £165k-a-week Tottenham star | OneFootball

A number of Tottenham forwards are facing an uncertain future at the club.

The likes of Son Heung-min and Richarlison have struggled with fitness issues this season and Spurs are looking to add more reliable options in their attack ahead of the next season.

Timo Werner, who was re-signed in a loan move last summer, is likely to be offloaded this summer after Spurs reportedly deciding not to renew his contract after his underwhelming performances this season.

Fulham are targeting a move for Werner

Fulham are setting their sights on Tottenham Timo Werner as they look to strengthen their attacking options for next season, according to Talksport.

Since joining Tottenham, Werner has experienced mixed fortunes, struggling to consistently find the back of the net in the Premier League.

Despite flashes of his well-known speed and movement, he has yet to replicate the prolific form he showcased at RB Leipzig, where he was widely regarded as one of Europe’s deadliest forwards.

A switch to Craven Cottage could provide him with the chance to reignite his career, with Fulham ready to offer him a central role in their attacking lineup.

His efforts to redeem himself at Tottenham following a disappointing end to his Chelsea career in 2022 have been largely unsuccessful.

This interest is likely because of his impressive goal-scoring record in the Bundesliga, where he found the back of the net 113 times during two separate stints with RB Leipzig.

Werner’s departure could free up space for Spurs to target other attacking options this summer.

In hindsight, signing him on a season-long loan from Leipzig was never a wise decision from Spurs with the player only scoring three goals in his 41 appearances for the North London club.

Werner earns £165,000 per week at Spurs and his departure would help the club in easing the load on their wage bill.
