‘They will do something: Fabrizio Romano says one Tottenham star is ‘not performing’ as well as Spurs expected
Tottenham Hotspur are set to bolster their attacking options in the upcoming January transfer window, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The decision comes amid growing concerns over Timo Werner’s underwhelming performances this season.
Werner, who rejoined Tottenham on loan from RB Leipzig in the summer, has failed to consistently impress under manager Ange Postecoglou. The German forward, despite showing glimpses of his potential in previous spells, has struggled to find his feet at Spurs this season. His struggles have been further highlighted by public criticism from Postecoglou, who deemed his performance against Rangers in the Europa League as “unacceptable.”
Romano, speaking on the Men in Blazers podcast, confirmed that Tottenham are actively seeking a new attacker to address their attacking deficiencies. He stated, “Tottenham will do something, especially in the offensive positions to add one more player there where Richarlison has been injured, Timo Werner is not performing as they were expecting.”
This news casts doubt on Tottenham’s plans to exercise their option to sign Werner permanently for a modest fee of £8.5 million next summer. Given his inconsistent performances and Postecoglou’s public criticism, it would be surprising if Tottenham were to trigger that clause. Reports have even emerged suggesting that Tottenham are open to letting Werner leave the club in January. However, with the club currently grappling with a significant injury crisis, it is likely that Postecoglou will retain the German forward until the end of the season before sending him back to RB Leipzig.
Tottenham’s search for a new attacker underscores their ambition to improve their attacking output and challenge for higher positions in the league. The January transfer window presents a crucial opportunity for the club to address their shortcomings and strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season. ‘They will do something: Fabrizio Romano says one Tottenham star is ‘not performing’ as well as Spurs expected’They will do something: Fabrizio Romano says one Tottenham star is ‘not performing’ as well as Spurs expected
