Man United are reportedly among the clubs interested in signing Timo Werner once his loan at Tottenham Hotspur comes to an end.
The German joined Ange Postecoglou’s Lilywhites in the January transfer window after being allowed to leave RB Leipzig to gain more first-team minutes.
And although the 28-year-old’s reputation in English football is not the best following a disappointing two years at Chelsea, Werner has done well playing on Spurs’ left wing.
After eight games, the Stugartt-born attacker has managed a goal or an assist every other game —decent numbers for a player who arrived back in London low on confidence.
Man United haven’t given up on Timo Werner
However, although Postecoglou may be happy with the German’s influence, according to a recent report from Sky Sports Germany (via Fichajes), there are no guarantees Spurs will try and sign him permanently at the end of the season, and that could open the door for another club to steal an advantage.
Fulham and West Ham are among the sides linked, with both team’s interest dating back to the start of the year. They’re not alone though — Erik Ten Hag’s Red Devils are also in the mix, and, according to these latest reports, could look to offer the 28-year-old an escape from the Bundesliga and a permanent return to the Premier League.
Viewed as an experienced and versatile attacker, Werner, should he end up at Old Trafford, could become a valuable player to help ease the burdens on Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund.
Werner is a player prepared to take on the opposition players,which seems to be a rarity since Dembele left us.I would keep him,why let others benefit from Spurs taking a chance on him?
Agree with Ian. Have been pleasantly surprised by his performances and really didn’t fancy him coming to the club after the way he left Chelsea. My exact reaction was “Not another Chelsea reject” after the Special One and Conte. Yes, keep him, but more importantly, give Son another 3 year contract, need to get his contract extended. COYS
