The German striker returned to England after a gap of one and a half years as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/timo-werner-chelsea-tottenham-loan-signing-ex-blues-forward-rb-leipzig-option-to-buy/blt7477f60d600bf942" target="_blank">he joined Spurs on a short-term loan deal</a> from RB Leipzig. Werner's first spell in London did not go to plan as the once highly-rated forward disappointed at Chelsea, scoring just 23 goals across two seasons.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12944433/Why-Tottenham-keen-45m-dud-Timo-Werner.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>, the German did not enjoy his two-season-long stay at the Blues and was perceived as detached and immature by the people at the club. While the player got along with his colleagues, he reportedly never went out of his way to mix with people. He also came across as unenthusiastic in training, struggling to comprehend tactics as neither Frank Lampard nor Thomas Tuchel could bring the best out of the talented forward.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Despite his failed stint with Chelsea, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/january-transfer-window-2024-biggest-deals-graded/blt37660b6e0275a4dd" target="_blank">Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou went ahead and signed the attacker</a> primarily due to the absence of club captain Heung-min Son, who will be away on national duty for nearly a month for the Asian Cup 2023. Also, Werner will be desperate to prove his critics wrong and try to book a place in the German squad for the Euro 2024. The striker is also known to be versatile as he can play in multiple attacking positions.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Lilywhites are preparing to face Manchester United in their first Premier League of 2024 on Sunday, although their new signing is unlikely to take the field this early. Spurs would go ahead of bitter rivals Arsenal in fourth if they can defeat Erik ten Hag's side.
