Timo Werner may have to struggle to keep his place in Ange Postecoglou’s squad after having a strong start to his Tottenham Hotspur career.
Timo Werner has contributed a few assists since joining the Spurs, and he has looked promising. He hasn’t quite missed the mark, though. Additionally, in his fewest appearances, Werner has missed a few excellent opportunities.
However, Tottenham should soon have Heung-min Son back in the lineup for the remainder of the season after South Korea’s unexpected loss at the Asian Cup. Furthermore, Werner might be the most obvious choice to be left off of the starting lineup.
Tottenham interest in Nico Williams may not be good news for Timo Werner
Lately, Richarlison has been playing exceptionally well. After that, Son will almost certainly switch to the left, accompanied behind the striker by James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
And considering that Tottenham is already being linked to a few offensive players for the summer transfer window, that might not be the best situation for Werner.
Nico Williams, who has tallied five goals and dished out ten assists across all competitions this year, is one of the names Tottenham is pursuing. Williams has primarily used his left hand to play.
The ‘amazing’ talent, age of 21, has a £43 million release clause in his contract. If the Spain international continues to reach his full potential, that might lead to a possible deal.
The pressure is already on January signing
If they bring Nico Williams in, it is hard to see Tottenham pushing to sign Werner permanently.
The move to sign Werner on loan seemed to make a lot of sense. He had struggled in the Premier League previously. And he did not exactly prove Chelsea wrong back at RB Leipzig.
But a loan with a £15 million option to buy was a low-risk move for Spurs. In fact, the biggest problem arguably arises if he scores a reasonable, but unspectacular number of goals while on loan. That would leave Tottenham with a tricky decision to make.
Now however, he is surely in real danger of dropping out of the team. And if Williams continues to impress over the rest of the season, there is surely going to be less of an appetite to make Werner’s move permanent.
