Tottenham have endured a dismal season, currently sitting 16th in the Premier League with just 36 points and 19 defeats.
They’re out of all domestic competitions, leaving the Europa League as their only hope for redemption.
Spurs hold a 3-1 aggregate lead heading into Thursday’s semi-final second leg, with a likely final clash against Manchester United—a side they’ve already beaten three times this season.
However, their European run doesn’t mask deeper issues, with major changes expected. Ange Postecoglou’s future at Tottenham uncertain, and a significant squad overhaul is on the cards this summer.
One exit already nailed on is Timo Werner.
Timo Werner linked with a move to Tottenham’s London rivals
While Werner may not be high on the wishlist for top-tier clubs, a few sides are monitoring his situation.
According to talkSPORT, West Ham and Fulham are closely monitoring the German’s situation, with both clubs said to be ‘alert’ as the forward prepares for a summer move.
Werner is also wanted by New York Red Bulls, though he is reportedly settled in London—suggesting a preference to remain in the capital.
Tottenham have the option to sign him permanently for £8.5 million, but the club is not expected to activate the clause.
Fabrizio Romano has already reported that Werner will not be at Spurs next season.
Meanwhile, parent club RB Leipzig are also not looking to keep him and are actively seeking potential suitors ahead of the summer window.
Timo Werner has not played for Tottenham since February
Werner’s time in England continues to disappoint, with the German forward now completely frozen out by Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham.
Once seen as a smart loan signing, Werner made a bright start after joining Spurs in January 2024, contributing goals and assists in his first few games.
His form earned him a one-year extension, but this season has been a different story.
The arrivals of Dominic Solanke and Wilson Odobert, coupled with poor form and injury setbacks, have seen Werner fall out of favour.
He hasn’t featured in a matchday squad since February, with his last appearance coming off the bench in a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City.
After an underwhelming spell at Chelsea as well—23 goals in 89 games—his struggles in English football seem set to continue.
Linked with a potential return to the Premier League via Fulham or West Ham after his loan at Spurs ends, it remains to be seen whether Werner can make a success of a third attempt in English football.
