According to a report by talkSPORT, Timo Werner is keen on remaining in London after his loan spell with Tottenham Hotspur ends. The Lilywhites do not want to seal a permanent deal for the German international in the summer transfer window after their agreement with RB Leipzig ends. However, the former Chelsea forward’s desire means Fulham and West Ham United are on alert over a possible move.
Timo Werner has endured a dreadful stint since returning to Tottenham Hotspur from RB Leipzig for a second loan spell last summer. The North London outfit completed the first temporary deal in January 2024 before bringing him back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium ahead of the 2024/25 season.
However, fitness issues and poor form have contributed to Werner’s significantly reduced stature at Tottenham. The 29-year-old has arguably been a flop at the North London club, and he has not even completed 1,000 minutes of game time across 27 appearances in all competitions while chipping in with one goal and three assists.
Meanwhile, Werner’s struggles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have compelled the Premier League club to decide against a permanent move in the summer transfer window. However, the German international has no shortage of suitors pursuing his signature, and a return to London may be on the cards, with Fulham and West Ham United keeping an eye on the situation.
Timo Werner has been on Fulham’s radar for a long time. The continued interest makes sense, considering Willian is in the twilight of his career. In addition, Adama Traore faces an uncertain future at Craven Cottage. So, Fulham can do with a versatile attacker, with the Tottenham flop emerging as a viable target.
As for West Ham United, Lucas Paqueta’s long-term future remains uncertain amid his betting scandal. In addition, Mohammed Kudus might not be at the London Stadium beyond the summer transfer window. So, Werner is an option worth considering for West Ham.
With the 29-year-old German international keen on remaining in London, the situation has put Fulham and West Ham United on alert. It will be interesting to see if the RB Leipzig loanee joins his third London club in the summer transfer window.
