He might cover a critical void at Tottenham.
Reports state that Tottenham moved quickly to sign one of their transfer targets for this summer.
Spurs’ Werner’s future is uncertain
Timo Werner‘s permanent signing would be a simple method for Tottenham to increase their attacking strength this summer. Tottenham is eager to add additional firepower to their lineup.
The German is now on loan from RB Leipzig to the north London club, where he is doing admirably for Ange Postecoglou‘s team on the left side. Since joining the Premier League in January, the 28-year-old has made 13 appearances, scoring twice and dishing out three assists.
Because there is already a pre-existing option to buy the player in the loan contract, it would also be simple to make the deal permanent.
The option, which is estimated to be worth over £17 million, must be exercised prior to the start of EURO 2024 in Germany, enabling Tottenham six weeks to determine whether to offer the former Chelsea player a long-term contract in north London.
When questioned about the situation earlier in the season, Ange Postecoglou responded, “In terms of his future, like most players, the decisions will be made at the appropriate time.” “In my opinion, he was a terrific addition. He’s been a vital component of our system, and I believe he can get even better.”
However, given his age of 28, there might be hesitations about offering him a long-term contract, particularly in light of Tottenham’s recent transfer policy, which mostly targets players who are well into their prime. It appears that another possibility is being considered in light of that.
An English youth appears destined for that least,
Recent Italian sources have provided some information about Tottenham’s transfer intentions. That information comes from Tutto Juve [via Sport Witness], who state that Tottenham has “come forward” for Samuel Iling-Junior, a talented player for Juventus, as Daniel Levy and Johan Lange begin their first summertime pursuit of Ange.
With just 12 months remaining on his Turin deal, the 20-year-old has been linked to Spurs in the past, and a summer departure seems imminent.
The winger, who often scores goals for England’s young sides, has started just two Serie A games under Max Allegri this year and appears to be surplus to requirements.
He is currently being linked to a return to the Premier League, with Brighton and Spurs vying for his services. Iling-Junior, a winger by trade, has also played wing-back and is a strong contender to replace Destiny Udogie, who did the same thing in his last season with Udinese.
Juventus values him at just 15 million euros, or £12.9 million, making him a less expensive and younger option than Werner, who may provide far more upside and adaptability down the road.
With the Old Lady supposedly “closer to farewell” than ever, may he be Tottenham’s ideal summer addition?
