Timo Werner has acknowledged that he was initially apprehensive about transferring to Tottenham Hotspur when the club first contacted him a few weeks before the transfer window, but that he later changed his mind after being intrigued by the project.
Today, most transfers are preceded by weeks, if not months, of intense speculation, with every detail of the discussions exposed.
However, this was not the case with Werner’s move to Tottenham, as the transfer came almost out of nowhere and caught many people off guard, implying that the agreement was reached pretty quickly.
The German international has had a strong start at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, starting all five games and assisting twice (Transfermarkt).
SportBILD (via Sport Witness) reported a few days ago that RB Leipzig believes Spurs are pleased with the 27-year-old’s performance thus far, with the German side anticipating the Premier League club to exercise the €20 million (£17 million) buy option in the summer.
Timo Werner has ignored Tottenham for weeks.
Werner has now revealed how the move came about, admitting that the proposal became more ‘interesting’ as he thought about it.
His talk with Postecoglou about how he would fit in at Tottenham would have likely persuaded the former Chelsea player to approve the trade.
