Ange Postecoglou has hinted that Tottenham will sign Timo Werner on a permanent deal from RB Leipzig at the end of the season.
Spurs signed the former Chelsea player on loan in January, and he has returned to his best form with the North Londoners.
Werner‘s pace and work rate make him an ideal fit for Postecoglou’s system, and he has helped them maintain their position in fifth place in the Premier League rankings.
Tottenham have the option to buy him for about £15 million, which was originally agreed as part of their deal with Leipzig.
TEAMtalk has exclusively revealed that the 28-year-old forward is determined to win his spot and stay at Spurs beyond this season.
According to sources, Werner enjoys playing for Postecoglou and is willing to stay at Tottenham for as long as the manager remains in charge.
It’s also worth mentioning that Tottenham are looking to sign a new striker in the summer to supplement Werner, although Postecoglou appears to have made up his mind about him.
Ange Postecoglou heaped admiration on Timo Werner
In a recent interview with Fabrizio Romano, Postecoglou was asked about Werner’s recent performances and whether he intended to maintain the attacker.
“The decisions will be made at the appropriate time,” Postecoglou stated.
“In my perspective, he’s been an excellent signing. He’s been a critical component of our organisation.”
Werner has made nine Premier League appearances for Tottenham, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
Spurs have won five of his matches, and Postecoglou is pleased with his performances thus far.
Everything now points to Tottenham paying £15 million to sign Werner at the end of the season. At 28 years old, he might be a vital addition to the London club for many years.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s second aim for the summer season is to sign a new offensive midfielder to fight with James Maddison for a starting berth.
TEAMtalk has exclusively learned that Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher is Postecoglou’s main target for the job.
