GOOD NEWS;Fringe attacker set to leave Tottenham at the end of the season

Tottenham unlikely to sign Timo Werner permanently from RB Leipzig

Tottenham Hotspur agreed to re-sign Timo Werner on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig back in May, with the deal including an £8.5million buy option.

Surprisingly, his modest return of two goals and three assists on loan last season was enough to convince Spurs to retain his services for another year. And the German forward has been nothing short of disappointment at the Hotspur Way this season.

Timo Werner, who has developed a reputation for missing clear-cut chances, has only registered one assist across 11 appearances in all competitions so far this term. As a result, he does not appear to have a long-term future at Tottenham.

According to an exclusive report from GIVEMESPORT, Spurs are set to not turn Werner’s loan into a permanent deal in the summer, as head coach Ange Postecoglou eyes a new left-wide forward. The north London outfit are seriously scouring the market for an attacking winger capable of operating on both flank, leading to Werner exiting after the expiry of his loan spell.

The 28-year-old is unlikely to see significant playing time in the coming months due to the summer arrivals of Wilson Odobert and Dominic Solanke, pushing him further down the attacking pecking order under Ange Postecoglou.

While he has been praised by some for his off-the-ball work rate and defensive contribution, the ex-Chelsea flop’s finishing in front of goal has been extremely frustrating for the fans to watch. This issue could be attributed to his lack of confidence and self-belief in front of goal, as recently stated by our gaffer.
