Should Timo Werner leave Tottenham Hotspur in this transfer market or the next, he can hardly say he wasn’t given a chance to succeed with Spurs.
The Premier League club carried his loan through to this season with a purchase option for the summer, but despite being given minutes repeatedly by Ange Postecoglou, and totalling 937 minutes in total this campaign, he’s only scored once.
He has managed three assists, which is a little more impressive, with the last of those coming against Fulham in December.
In recent weeks, Werner has been linked with a move to MLS and SportBild cover that in their magazine this week.
Tottenham can buy the 28-year-old for around €12m in the summer, and SportBild say the signals have been ‘very clear’… Spurs will not sign him permanently.
All parties involved have therefore considered a winter move, which is why RB Leipzig, who still own the player, were said to have thought about a move to their sister club New York Red Bulls.
However, SportBild dismiss all of that as baseless.
MLS is an option and the player is keen on a US adventure, but there’s nothing in it right now and it’s likelier he returns to RB Leipzig when his Tottenham loan ends and sorts out his future from there.
