Tottenham Hotspur striker Timo Werner has been linked with a move away from the North London club this month.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, MLS outlet New York Red Bulls have started negotiations to sign Timo Werner. The 28-year-old German international has struggled at Tottenham this season, and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time.
Meanwhile, Werner is not an indispensable asset for the club, and his departure is unlikely to hurt Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if the player can secure a move to MLS before the winter transfer window closes.
Timo Werner has already struggled for regular game time at Tottenham, and he could fall further down the pecking order if the North London club decide to bring in another attacker. They have been linked with multiple attackers in recent weeks, including Tyler Dibling.
It would be ideal for the German international to move on and join a club where he will get regular opportunities pulled up he has not been able to prove his quality in the Premier League, and a move to MLS could be ideal for him. He is unwanted at his parent club RB Leipzig as well. It remains to be seen whether New York Red Bulls are prepared to sign him permanently.
Werner could shine in the MLS
The 28-year-old has shown his quality in the Bundesliga in the past, and he could be a key player for the American outfit if he manages to regain his form and confidence. He is capable of operating anywhere across the front three and his versatility will be an added bonus for the MLS club.
It will be interesting to see if they decide to sign the German international on loan for the remainder of the season. If Werner manages to impress in the MLS he might be able to sort out his permanent future and secure a long-term move in the coming months.
Timo Werner needs a spell away from the limelight and a move to MLS could not be better timed for him. The former Chelsea attacker needs to play regularly without pressure, and he needs a manager who will back him.
