Timo Werner leaving RB Leipzig?
Timo Werner’s Spurs career will seemingly last no longer than his current loan spell, as Ange Postecoglou is ready to let him return to his parent club.
Timo Werner returned to Tottenham for a second loan stint during the summer transfer window. The 28-year-old's contract includes an option to purchase valued at approximately £8.5m. However, his performances this season have been underwhelming, and it is reported that Spurs manager Postecoglou is considering the possibility of letting him go at the season's end. The option to buy is likely to be disregarded, resulting in Werner's return to his parent club, RB Leipzig. Although there was speculation about the possibility of ending Werner's loan prematurely in January, it is suggested that he will remain for the entirety of his season-long loan.
Timo Werner's spell at Tottenham could be nearing an end with Ange Postecoglou reportedly losing interest in the German international.
Tottenham is reportedly not planning to hinder Timo Werner if he decides to depart in the January transfer window. Following his stint with Tottenham in the latter half of last season, the German international returned to the north London club this summer on a season-long loan, which includes an option to purchase for approximately £8.5m (€10.1m, $11m). Although manager Ange Postecoglou has defended Werner against recent criticism, stating that he is not without talent and is indeed a very good footballer, the German publication Kicker suggests that Tottenham will allow him to leave in January should an opportunity present itself. The report further mentions that his parent club, RB Leipzig, would approve another loan or a sale if they could identify any potential buyers.
Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly not stand in Timo Werner’s way if the German striker chooses to cut his loan spell short in January. The forward is unlikely to see significant playing time due to the summer arrivals of Wilson Odobert and Dominic Solanke, pushing him further down the pecking order. Kicker indicates that an early exit in January could be on the cards.
