“Graeme Souness Weighs In on Tottenham’s Impending Deal for Timo Werner in January Transfer Window.

Timo Werner’s potential move to Spurs is poised to mark Tottenham’s initial acquisition this month. Werner’s unexpected emergence on Ange Postecoglou’s radar has caught many by surprise, considering the German’s previous Premier League stint.

Reportedly, discussions between Werner and Postecoglou have swayed the 27-year-old to venture to North London, aiming for a Premier League resurgence with a loan deal and an option to make the move permanent.

However, Graeme Souness appears skeptical about Werner’s prospects at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Speaking to talkSPORT, Souness drew parallels between Werner and a Liverpool player, expressing doubts about Werner’s consistent performance.

“He’s an extra piece, another addition. I’m not convinced he’ll excel, but he’s the kind of player who gets multiple chances in a game due to his speed and positioning,” Souness remarked.

“While he’s capable of a prolific spell, he’s also inconsistent. Spurs might find themselves compelled to secure him long-term if he hits top form,” he added.

The German forward’s return to the Bundesliga with Leipzig hasn’t been spectacular, evident from Leipzig’s willingness to loan him out. Werner’s stats with Leipzig are akin to his Premier League record with Chelsea, raising questions about his impact.

Despite doubts, Tottenham’s decision to pursue Werner hints at something beyond the surface. Spurs’ recent track record in the transfer market suggests a strategic approach, leaving room for speculation that this signing might prove inspired.

Should Werner unlock the potential Souness hints at, this move could be a masterstroke for Tottenham, adding another layer to their astute transfer dealings.”
