Tottenham already unlikely to sign forward permanently this summer

It has been reported that one Tottenham forward already looks unlikely to remain at the club on a permanent basis beyond the end of the 2024/25 season.

Forward has failed to impress at Spurs

Timo Werner has now been at Spurs for over a year, and while he has been effective on rare occasions, on the whole, his perennially inconsistent end product has continued to haunt him.

The German has been handed plenty of minutes this season, owing to the injury crisis that Ange Postecoglou has had to deal with.

However, when everyone is fit, he is not anywhere close to the starting eleven, with even Mikey Moore being preferred to him at times this season.

In fact, Tottenham even announced this week that Werner has been dropped from the Europa League squad for the second half of the season.

Timo Werner’s time at Spurs is coming to an end

GiveMeSport say that Werner’s time at Spurs is ‘winding down’ at the moment, with all signs pointing to him and the North London side going their separate ways at the end of the season.

Tottenham have the option to sign the 28-year-old permanently from RB Leipzig for £8.5m at the end of the season, but the outlet asserts that this is ‘very little to absolutely no chance’ of Spurs taking up that option.

However, it is revealed that Tottenham never considered cutting short the former Chelsea man’s loan spell in January as Postecoglou believes he can still have a role to play as a squad member over the coming months.

Mathys Tel signing could spell the end for Werner

GiveMeSport adds that Tel’s arrival at Tottenham is ‘another sign’ that the club intend to move past the German international at the end of the season.

In fact, it is revealed that Spurs are planning to sign another attacker in the summer window, with scouting missions already underway for this purpose.

This information is also backed by The Athletic, who revealed a couple of days ago that Tottenham’s priority in the summer is to sign another elite forward who can take the goalscoring burden off Dominic Solanke.
