Tottenham Hotspur are set to bolster their forward line this summer, as reported by football.london‘s Alasdair Gold. The club has extended Timo Werner’s loan spell by another year, securing his presence at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the 2024-25 season.
Internally, the move is seen as a shrewd piece of business, despite receiving a mixed response from fans on social media. Werner’s desire to stay at Tottenham and his positive relationship with manager Ange Postecoglou have influenced the decision.
Postecoglou views the German forward’s return as a valuable addition to the squad, providing depth without denting the summer transfer budget.
However, Gold clarifies that Werner’s signing does not mark the end of Tottenham’s forward recruitment plans. With Ivan Perisic and Bryan Gil departing, Postecoglou is keen to bring in multiple attacking options. Securing a new number nine is high on the priority list for the Lilywhites as they prepare for a return to European football with Europa League qualification.

Some fans have expressed discontent with Werner’s signing, citing concerns about his wages. However, given that there is no loan fee involved, the move appears financially sensible.
Werner may not be a regular starter, but he offers valuable depth and provides a strong option off the bench, particularly against fatigued opponents late in matches.
Will the addition of Werner and other attacking signings be enough to propel the club to success next season?
