Transfer News: Tottenham Hotspur wants to sign Timo Werner

Timo Werner might once again play in the Premier League after his disappointing form in Chelsea Football Club, as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are bidding for him.

Chelsea FC signed him in 2020 for 47.5 million euros on a five-year contract, and he scored his first goal against Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup. Many said that his career at Chelsea was quite disappointing, but because of him, Chelsea was able to win the Champions League in the 2020/2021 season. He came from RB Leipzig after scoring 78 goals in 127 matches, which made him a hot prospect for the future striker of Chelsea, but his finishing was not that good, which is why he only played 56 matches for the Chelsea club and scored only 10 goals.

In 2022, he returned to RB Leipzig for 25.3 million euros and, till now, scored 18 goals in 44 matches, which once again made him one of the strikers that few clubs put their eyes on for the January transfer.

Manchester United did plan to bid on Werner, but now they dropped the idea because they don’t know what type of player the club needs. However, Rasmus Hojlund did not perform as they wanted him to who signed for the United in the summer for 65 million euros because they thought that he was next Erling Haaland.

Son Heung-min will be absent for a month due to international duty, which is why Hotspur is looking to sign Timo Werner, who is pacey and great at leaving defenders behind, but the only factor that can hurt Tottenham is his finishing skill. They even signed Richarlison in the summer, but he failed even to show his amazing goal-scoring skills, which he did in Everton.
