“We are delighted to announce the signing of Timo Werner. He will join the team on loan until the end of the season. There is a provision for a full transfer in the summer. He will wear the No. 16 jersey.”
Werner made his senior debut in the 2013/14 season after playing for Stuttgart Youth. At the time, he was 17 years, four months, and 25 days, becoming the youngest player to make his debut in the club’s history. In the same year, he was awarded the U-17 Fritz Walter Gold Medal, which is given to Germany’s top prospects.
He started a new challenge by moving to Leipzig ahead of the 2016/17 season. He began to properly publicize his name then. He penetrated the Bundesliga with penetration based on his unique speed. He became one of the best strikers in the league with 159 matches, 95 goals and 40 assists. 토토사이트
Chelsea have paid £47.5 million (W79.5 billion) to Leipzig to sign Werner. Expectations were high as a striker to lead Chelsea, but that was it.
While playing for Chelsea for three seasons, Werner won the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. However, he performed poorly in individuals. He only had 23 goals and 21 assists in 89 matches during the two seasons.
He returned to his old club Leipzig ahead of the 2022/23 season. After moving, he scored the first goal in his return match. Since then, he has produced 16 goals and six assists in 40 matches, displaying stellar performance.
Things haven’t been good this season. After the opening game, he couldn’t play due to injury and deterioration of his condition. Meanwhile, his competitors Royce Offenda and Benjamin Seszko have been better than Werner.
Tottenham showed interest in Werner. Son Heung-min, the ace, will not be able to play for a while due to the Asian Cup of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). Frontline striker Hishalisson has recently recovered his form, but other than him, he lacks reliable strikers.
In the end, he completed a loan transfer. According to Fabrizio Romano, who is fluent in the European soccer transfer market, Tottenham covers Werner’s full salary and has a complete transfer clause of 17 million euros (W24.5 billion).
