Timo Werner, a January addition, has come under fire from journalist Tony Cascarino for his actions since joining the team.
Early in January, Spurs signed the former Chelsea player on a loan from RB Leipzig, with the option to buy him outright for £15 million.
He has participated in four Premier League games and assisted on two goals since joining. He appeared composed, and some of his moves were excellent.
Given the dearth of options available on the left side of attack at the time, he was signed to a short-term contract.
However, with Heung-min Son returning from the Asian Cup and Richarlison in excellent form at center forward, he may find his position as a first-team starter diminished to that of a squad member.
Son is now anticipated to start on the left side of the front three, with Kulusevski on the right and Richarlison up front.
Even if he has won over supporters and Ange Postecoglou in his brief tenure, he still needs to win over some pundits like Cascarino.
Tony Cascarino doesn’t think Tottenham has to consider Werner’s future after this season too much.
Speaking on talkSport, he said:
“I would like to discuss one player in particular. And now the game is won by Tottenham. He changed things about a little. Timo Werner was replaced by Heung-min Son. Timo Werner has already participated in five games. It is not a long time. Does he look anything like the player I saw at Chelsea? Just a little. He is more detrimental.
TBH Says:
Considering that he has only been with the team for more than a month and has only participated in five games across all competitions, the pundit’s assessment is extremely harsh.And has even assisted on two goals in those five games.
Although we don’t know if Spurs will make the deal permanent in the summer, given the price, it will be a low-risk signing, especially if he ends up doing well in the meantime.
In related developments:
After a successful January window, they have already started looking at targets for the summer.
Even though they signed Dragusin in January, they are still looking for a defender, with Dean Huijsen of Juventus and Lloyd Kelly of Bournemouth among the names who have been mentioned thus far.
Tottenham is reportedly in the running to sign the Juventus defender in the summer, per claims from the Italian news source Tutto Juve.There are whispers that the club is “ready to sign him,” and there is a good chance they are interested.
Additionally, according to Tutto Juve, Tottenham is “ready to offer” Juventus €30 million in exchange for the 18-year-old defender.
Last month, the Dutch defender went on loan to Roma, and rumors have it that the Italian team hopes to make the move permanent in the summer.
But it’s also said that Manchester United is looking to sign him.
Tottenham is alert and will keep a careful eye on the young defender’s condition despite the competition.
They might put in a lot of work in the summer to get the gifted player into the Premier League.
