European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano left a positive answer about the possibility of Tottenham Hotspur's permanent recruitment of Timo Werner.
"The Boy Hotspur," which mainly reports Tottenham news, reported on the 21st that "Romano responded encouragingly to the question of whether Tottenham will recruit Timo Werner in the upcoming summer."
Werner, who played for Chelsea in the past but returned to RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga due to poor performance, returned to the Premier League stage in January when he was offered by Tottenham during the winter transfer market and transferred on a six-month loan. It is a six-month short-term loan contract, but Tottenham can permanently sign Werner for £15 million about 25.4 billion won if they want.
Werner, wearing a Tottenham uniform, scored in the 27th round of the Premier League against Crystal Palace in the 2023-24 season on the 3rd, scoring his Tottenham debut goal in seven games. At the time, Werner set the stage for a 3-1 come-from-behind victory by scoring an equalizer in the 32nd minute of the second half when he was being dragged 0-1.
Since then, Son Heung-min's pass in the 28th round of Aston Villa away to make the score 4-0, making two consecutive goals, but he failed to prevent an 0-3 defeat by missing a decisive comeback chance in the next game, away to Fulham.
Tottenham fans have questioned whether Werner, who has two goals and two assists in eight games since moving on loan, will be with Tottenham next season.
Tottenham fans, who want to know what the club thinks of Werner, visited a transfer market expert and reporter Romano, who is famous for using the phrase "Here we go," to ask about the possibility of Werner's permanent transfer to Tottenham.
Asked at the time, reporter Romano replied through "JD Football," "I think there is a possibility Tottenham will invoke the option to recruit Werner," claiming that Werner could still play in Tottenham's uniform next season.
Werner once made a name for himself as one of the best strikers in Germany and the Bundesliga. After scoring 90 goals and 40 assists in 156 matches while playing for Leipzig for four years from 2016 to 2020, Werner attracted the attention of big European clubs as he scored 28 goals in 34 matches during the 2019-20 season.
At that time, Liverpool and Chelsea, representing the Premier League, showed great interest in recruiting, and Chelsea succeeded in embracing Werner with a large amount of £45 million about 83.6 billion won ahead of the 2020-21 season.
When he played, he failed to capitalize on his chances due to his offside and poor decision-making skills. In his first season of the 2020/21 season, he played 2,606 minutes in 35 league games and recorded a decent performance with six goals and 12 assists.
Coach Thomas Tuchel, who was appointed as coach in the middle of this season, led the team to win the UEFA Champions League, while Werner played in 12 matches, including the final, with four goals and two assists. In addition, he won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup, adding a trophy to his career.
Werner had high expectations from fans as he showed great potential in his debut season, but in his second year, he was pushed out of the competition for the starting lineup with only four goals and one assist in the 2021-22 season. He played only 1,885 minutes in 21 league games and failed to make the roster as he was classified as a non-power resource at the end of the season.
Having lost his position at Chelsea, Werner returned to his former club Leipzig to secure playing time in the summer of 2022. Leipzig reportedly re-enrolled Werner for 30 million euros about 43.2 billion won.
Having returned to Bundesliga with his former team, Werner made a comeback by scoring 16 goals and six assists in 40 matches in all competitions, including nine goals and four assists in 27 league matches. However, as he struggled in the second season similar to his Chelsea counterpart, he significantly reduced his playing time, and sought to transfer once again.
Werner, who joined Tottenham afterwards, started to consider the possibility of a permanent transfer as he performed well. According to Germany's Sky Sports, Werner is satisfied with his life at Tottenham and hopes to stay.
Meanwhile, his performance is also important in order to permanently recruit Werner, but it will depend on whether Tottenham will advance to the UEFA Champions League next season.
British media "Football Insider" said on the 21st, "The future of Timo Werner at Tottenham depends on whether he will advance to the Champions League this season," adding, "The club has not made a final decision yet." 메이저사이트
Tottenham can fully recruit Werner if it pays only 15 million pounds about 25.4 billion won for the transfer, the media said. "However, the deal depends on whether or not it enters the Champions League, and it is worth at least 14 million pounds about 23.7 billion won."
