Tottenham have not ruled out signing Timo Werner on a permanent basis, according to the latest report from GiveMeSport.
Werner, who joined Spurs on loan from RB Leipzig in January 2024, initially impressed enough to secure an extended loan for the current season. The deal includes an option to buy valued at around £8.5m, a figure that makes him an affordable addition should Spurs decide to keep him.
This season, Werner has mainly operated as a squad player under manager Ange Postecoglou. He has made 14 appearances in all competitions, but has registered just one goal and two assists.
His last assist came against Manchester City as he showed a rare moment of brilliance, beating Kyle Walker with his pace before laying the ball to Brennan Johnson, who slotted it in for Tottenham’s fourth goal of the their emphatic victory over the reigning Premier League champions. .
Tottenham have changed their minds about Timo Werner
Earlier reports suggested that Spurs were considering terminating Werner’s loan deal in January due to disappointing performances. However, the latest update indicates a change in strategy, with Postecoglou reportedly deciding against an early cancellation.
According to GiveMeSport, the club are keeping their options open regarding a permanent deal, although no final decision will be made until the end of the season. Postecoglou and club officials are taking a measured approach, assessing Werner’s performance and overall impact before committing to a long-term deal.
while Werner’satrociousPerformances have at times drawn criticism, particularly for missed opportunities, such as a couple of one-on-one chances against Manchester United earlier in the season, his experience and versatility could make him a squad player valuable for the Spurs.
Although he has struggled relatively in the Premier League, he has shown that he has quality with his incredible numbers for RB Leipzig, who he has scored for. 113 goals and 47 assists (160 goals and assists) in 213 games.
Priced at £8.5m, Werner represents a relatively low-risk investment for Spurs. If he can provide depth and occasional moments of quality, as seen against Manchester City, he could still be a worthwhile addition.
For now, Werner’s future at Tottenham remains undecided. His ability to seize opportunities for the remainder of the season will likely determine whether Spurs make his loan permanent.
