Werner is on Loan as a Substitute, Why Tottenham Chose

"When I joined Chelsea, I told them I wanted to win, but I won the Champions League. I had a good conversation with Enzi Postecoglou. I could hear various things about Tottenham's team philosophy, etc. Tottenham is the perfect team for me. I came here to win." Timo Werner

Timo Werner 28 was strong-willed. He is trying to make up for his failure in the Premier League at Tottenham. He is also committed to presenting the trophy, which is Tottenham's long-cherished task. According to European soccer expert Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham is responsible for all six-month weekly wages.

"We have brought Werner on loan. Werner, a former member of the German national team, signed a half-season loan agreement until the end of the 2023-24 season. There is a condition that he can invoke the option of fully recruiting this summer," Tottenham announced on Wednesday. Werner has the number to play for Tottenham as No. 16.

Through Tottenham's official page, I could hear how it felt to join Werner. Looking for another comeback in the Premier League, he said, "A lot of things made me fall in love with you. Postecoglou told me why I should join Tottenham and how to do it. I once had a showdown with Tottenham in Chelsea and Leipzig. I am happy to be a member of the Tottenham club. I thought everything was just right for me."

"I had a lot of conversations with Coach Postecoglou. When I joined Chelsea, I said I wanted to win the championship, but I won the Champions League. I came here to win the title at Tottenham. I know how much my speed has threatened my opponent in the Premier League. I will show such things to Tottenham."

Tottenham had a major change in its team in the summer of 2023. Coach Enzi Postecoglou has prepared for Harry Kane's absence from the pre-season. The reason is the transfer. Harry Kane, who was in charge of Tottenham's front line for a while and competed for the Premier League's top scorer, decided to leave the team. He wanted to win the title at Tottenham, but admitted that his chances were slim, and moved to Bayern Munich, a team that competes for the UEFA Champions League.

Postecoglou placed Hisharlisson and others at No. 9 to check the team's tactics. He tried to narrow the void left by Harry Kane. He played the striker role for Hisharlisson from the opening game against Brentford, but his performance was not what he wanted.

Since then, he has placed Son in the ninth position. Son has displayed his presence as a captain by posting points on offense even at the position of frontline striker. Midway through the season, he gave Hisharlisson the ninth position again, and gave Son as a winger, but his sharpness remained intact.

However, he had to participate in the Asian Cup after 20 rounds of Premier League schedule. Son Heung-min was unavailable after the last match in 2023. The Korean team is aiming to win the title at the Asian Cup, which will take place around Qatar from January 12, and if it advances to the final, it will be until February 10. Tottenham cannot keep the captaincy for about a month.

In the early days of the transfer window, Tottenham wanted to recruit Ivan Toney Brentford. When Kane left for Bayern Munich last summer, Ivan Toney was the target of Tottenham. He was ranked third in scoring goals with 20 goals in the Premier League last season.

With good physical conditions, he excelled in competition to secure flying ball, and displayed robust decision-making ability. Although it is a question mark as he has limited playing time due to illegal betting issues, he is now on the radar of high ranking teams in the Premier League. If he gets on track, he is highly competitive. His London rivals Chelsea and Arsenal also jumped into the race to recruit him. Tottenham also needed him as its top priority was strengthening the forward and backward position. However, Brentford manager Thomas Trank declared that he would not hand over Tony to another team, which went up in smoke.

Since then, Werner has been in touch with each other. Werner received quite a lot of team love calls because he had experience in the Premier League. In the first half of the 2023-24 season, teams that needed supplementation with the No. 9 striker and frontline decisions were drooling at Werner. Aston Villa and Manchester United put Werner in their shopping cart, but Tottenham made the final decision.

"HERE WE GO" Fabrizio Romano, who announced it before the official announcement during the transfer window, also said, "He will join Tottenham on loan within the next 48 hours. He was also excluded from the Leipzig squad. As it is known, negotiations are in the final stages and a decision is pending. Tottenham plans to take responsibility for 100 percent of Werner's short-term rental income until June."

"I will join Tottenham on a short six-month loan deal. I am currently in the final stages of negotiations with Leipzig," German Sky Sports reporter Florian Flettenberg reported. "Werner is ready to leave Leipzig and join Tottenham." 토토사이트

Romano said, "I will head to London, the U.K., to complete my loan move to Tottenham. The two teams agreed on the terms of Werner's loan move last Saturday. Tottenham has agreed to provide 100% weekly assistance and the option to fully recruit is 17 million euros. Confidently, he will become a Tottenham player after the medical test," and posted his signature "HERE WE GO." Since then, he has gained credibility as a number of local media including the U.K.'s "BBC" and "Sky Sports" have announced the imminent transfer of Werner to Tottenham.

Werner, however, played only eight matches for Leipzig this season. Of the matches, only two were selected, and only 204 minutes were needed including all the matches. If he wants to make the final roster of Euro 2024 to be held in Germany this summer, he desperately needs to play consistently.

If he goes to Tottenham on loan, he will be able to secure playing time. Assuming that the Korean national team advances to the finals, he has to fill the gap of strikers for about a month. Werner is an all-weather striker who can play in addition to No. 9. He can take the forward line alternately with Hisharlisson, or he can coexist in the absence of Son.

When he was at Chelsea, he also had advice to learn from Son. British media reported, "Son Heung-min was not impressed at all during his debut season in the Premier League. He only scored four goals in the 2015-16 season, but his scoring ability more than doubled from the next season. When Son first came, there was a fear that it would become an expensive cue like Roberto Soldado. It was difficult, but he finally recovered. Son was not impressed at all during his debut season in the Premier League. He only scored four goals in the 2015-16 season, but his scoring ability more than doubled from the next season."

Werner had strong points. Since his time with Leipzig, he attempted to penetrate the opponent team's last line by banking on accurate timing. He had strong points such as excellent line-breaking and ability to connect with teammates. However, he had never seen such a thing while playing for Chelsea for nearly 60 Premier League games. He failed to fully utilize his strengths with teammates and only scored goals, which he lacked. He occasionally tried to break down the defense by using line-breaking, but failed to score even at critical opportunities.

Postecoglou's leadership and performance in the first half of the season also touched Werner's heart. "Tottenham has become a team that plays for a specific goal under Postecoglou's leadership," British media Sports Lens said. Postecoglou wanted to recruit Werner himself. Postecoglou judged that he was playing for his team, and Tottenham's scouts also recommended Werner as the right player for the team. Postecoglou was in charge of Werner's transfer to Tottenham. "We received offers from Manchester United, West Ham United, and Crystal Palace, but we have decided to move to Tottenham on loan."

When asked about Werner's transfer to Leipzig coach Marco Rose, he replied, "It is true that he wants to leave the team on loan. He wants to play at the UEFA Euro as a member of the national team. We hope Werner will do his best in other teams and wish him good luck."

Football London said, "Tottenham quickly approached Werner as the winter transfer window opened. He was linked with Manchester United and others, but has now completed the loan transfer for Werner. Tottenham will be able to fill the void left by Son Heung-min who will participate in the AFC Asian Cup in January. If Werner plays smoothly in the rest of the season, he may fully recruit him at a fairly low price. Of course, he played for Chelsea from 2020 to 22 and failed to adjust to the Premier League. He helped Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League, but he lacked the point of attack in the Premier League. During his two seasons with Chelsea, he only scored 10 Premier League goals."

Werner seemed disappointed at his failed attempt at the Premier League. "I'm a striker, but I can't score a goal. Sometimes I don't know why my fans are rooting for me," he said in response to criticism while playing for Chelsea. Werner couldn't escape from his lack of scoring ability even after the interview, and ended up leaving Chelsea.

Several Premier League teams showed interest in the team, but they sought to make a comeback in their old team Leipzig. He played 27 games in his first season after returning to Leipzig. As a starter, he played in 23 games and recovered his sense of play as a key player. He scored nine goals and three assists. However, he failed to build up his physical condition 100 percent after the pre-season in the second season, and was immediately pushed out of the competition.

Furthermore, Leipzig has transfused young and promising players. The team has formed a squad consisting of Royce Oppenda, Yusuf Paulsen, Xavi Simmons, and Benjamin Seschko. After returning to his old team, he said he regained his senses in the 2022-23 season, but he offered to give way to young prospects. He wants to play in the Euro, but he has a problem with his sense of play in the game due to the limited time.

It remains to be seen whether he will be able to contribute significantly to Tottenham. However, according to soccer statistics firm Opta, Werner's goal-scoring ability has risen to the average level. When he was a member of the Premier League, he only scored 10 goals despite his high expectations of 18.3. However, Werner improved his finishing ability by scoring 11 of his 11.4 goals in Leipzig. His 8.3 goals less than expected during the Premier League was the worst record at that time.

Opta predicted that if Werner is to make a perfect comeback, it will depend on the coach Postecoglou's efforts and Werner's self-confidence. Romano also predicted that Werner's move to Tottenham is a win-win deal. Werner wants to play and Tottenham wants a low price. Werner is the right player for Postecoglou's tactics. He is fast because he knows how to target the back space. In my opinion, it will be very helpful for Tottenham to schedule for the second half of the season."
