Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou makes crucial decision on Timo Werner, reports | OneFootball

The future of Timo Werner at Tottenham Hotspur has become a subject of considerable speculation in recent weeks.

However, despite high hopes, Werner's performances so far this season have failed to live up to expectations, prompting some fans to question whether the club should cut ties early and send him back to Germany in January.

On loan from RB Leipzig, the striker joined Spurs last season during the winter transfer window, with the agreement including an £8.5 million option to buy.

Despite the murmurs from supporters, Football London’s Alasdair Gold reports that there is no clause in Werner’s loan agreement allowing Tottenham to terminate the deal prematurely.

The decision about his future now rests entirely with RB Leipzig, the club that still owns his rights and according to GiveMeSport, although Werner has struggled for consistency, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has chosen not to pull the plug on his loan just yet.

Instead, he has opted to give the German international another chance to prove his worth on the pitch.

One of the major turning points for Werner at Tottenham came in their resounding 4-0 victory over Manchester City.

Coming on as a substitute, Werner provided a crucial assist for Brennan Johnson’s goal, demonstrating his potential to contribute when given the chance.

With key players like Richarlison and Wilson Odobert sidelined due to injury, Tottenham’s attacking options are somewhat limited, leaving Werner, Son Heung-min, and Mikey Moore as the primary candidates to fill the left-wing role.

Werner's impact on recent wins

This performance has sparked a renewed sense of optimism surrounding his future at the club, with many now seeing him as a valuable asset moving forward.

As such, Spurs appear reluctant to end Werner’s loan prematurely, opting instead to keep him around for the time being while they assess his performances.

Nevertheless, Postecoglou and Tottenham’s hierarchy remain vigilant in the transfer market, exploring potential reinforcements.

Names like Andreas Skov Olsen from Club Brugge and Dario Osorio from FC Midtjylland have emerged as possible targets to further bolster the squad, should the need for a permanent replacement arise.

In conclusion, while the future of Timo Werner at Tottenham remains uncertain, his recent showing has likely boosted his chances of staying beyond his loan spell.

However, with Spurs continuing to explore other options, it’s clear that the club is not putting all its eggs in one basket when it comes to strengthening their squad.
