Tottenham Hotspur have decided not to sign Timo Werner permanently at the end of the season despite having a meagre purchase option.
According to a report from Give Me Sport, Tottenham Hotspur have made a decision on the future of Timo Werner. The German has been quite underwhelming for them since joining the club, and there were rumours that he could leave the club in January. However, the player is likely to stay until the end of the season now.
Tottenham had the option to make the move permanent in the summer for just £8.5 million. However, they have decided against it. Werner has not managed to impress in the Premier League with Chelsea or Tottenham. It would be ideal for him to leave English football and join another club at the end of the season.
Timo Werner has previously shown his quality in the Bundesliga, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up next season. His parent club RB Leipzig are not keen on keeping him at the club either. They will look to get rid of him permanently, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Recent reports have linked him with MLS outfit New York Red Bulls.
Werner needs a fresh start
The German forward, who will cost only £8.5 million, is still very much at the peak of his powers, and he will look to get his career back on track with regular football at a high level. He needs to join a club where he will get regular game time.
It will be interesting to see if the former Chelsea attacker can get back to his best once again. There is no doubt that there is a quality player in there, and the right manager and the club could get the best out of him.
Meanwhile, Tottenham need to improve their attacking unit at the end of the season, and it will be interesting to see if they can bring in a dynamic forward capable of slotting into multiple attacking roles.
Spurs signed Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on loan during the winter transfer window, and they have the opportunity to make the move permanent at the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether the Frenchman can impress sufficiently to secure a permanent move.
