Signed on loan from the Bundesliga side in January, the German international forward was a regular in Ange Postecoglou&#8217;s team in the second half of last season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/05\/10\/tottenham-hotspur-ange-postecoglou-three-positions-strengthened\/\" target=\"_self\">Tottenham Hotspur Ready to Strengthen Three Key Positions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1795487139851034646\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fabrizio Romano<\/a> hints that Tottenham can permanently sign Werner in 2025 for a fee of around \u00a312.7 million. The ex-Chelsea winger is also happy to stay and prove himself with the North London club after a successful six-month loan spell.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s Timo time (again). <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lbQBvAuchE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/lbQBvAuchE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SpursOfficial\/status\/1795530583184929131?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 28, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>What Role Will Werner Play at Tottenham?<\/h3>\n<p>Werner arrived at Tottenham in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/09\/timo-werner-travel-to-tottenham-loan\/\" target=\"_self\">2024 winter transfer window<\/a> on a short-term deal and managed to fit into Ange Postecoglou&#8217;s system pretty well.

Werner, who was praised for <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SpursOfficial\/status\/1755531951530713398\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his &#8220;massive&#8221; experience<\/a> by Tottenham technical director Johan Lange earlier this year, will need to work hard to earn a starting role in Spurs starting XI next season. That is because he might face competition for that position from Son Heung-min, especially if Spurs are able to sign a quality centre-forward to play up-front. Werner also needs to stay clear of injuries and be consistent with his goal contributions for a successful loan spell and convince the Lilywhites to sign him on a permanent basis in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bounce back from an underwhelming end to the 2023\/24 season by acting swiftly and efficiently in the summer transfer window.
