Wener is currently playing his first season with Tottenham. He is an exciting player who could contribute a lot to the team. As it stands, the Spurs are 5th on the Championship table. This is a decent position. However, if they hope to win the Premier League this year, they will need to make some significant progress in winning more games.
Timo is currently on loan to the Spurs from RB Leipzig. However, Tottenham will have the option to buy Werner after the completion of the current season which is June 30th. If Tottenham decides to retain Timo, the team will have to pay around $136 million, which is his current market value.
Timo Werner chooses F1 as his second choice after Soccer
Although Timo is a soccer player, he has stated that he is also a fan of Formula 1. When asked what his favorite sport was outside soccer, Werner said it was Formula 1. Growing up in the early 2000s in Germany, it is hard not to be a F1 fan. During that time, Michael Schumacher was dominating the sport in Germany’s name. This drew a lot of attention from Germans.
🚨 Timo Werner was a player being heavily pushed by Technical Director Johan Lange to Postecoglou in January.
Lange and Mackenzie both did a lot of scouting work on Radu Dragusin. They wanted to make sure he was definitely right for the Postecoglou system. @AlasdairGold 🥇 pic.twitter.com/howguIkzNc
