Let it be said right away: Ange Postecoglou has flair like few others in the Premier League. The Australian has pointed to players he believes will lift Spurs and has dumped those who don’t. Three manager of the month awards and a solid 5th place in the Premier League, one poor point behind a Champions League ticket so far, says a lot about the flair of the Spurs manager.
Now Postecoglou will “make gold out of gray stone” in the transfer market.

We cannot find a saying that better covers what is happening now. According to German Sky Sports, Timo Werner will be ready to wear the Spurs kit next week.
In the Bundesliga he was sparklingly good, in the Premier League the striker was… well, what exactly do Chelsea supporters remember Timo Werner for? Many associate the German player with Frank Lampard’s downfall at Stamford Bridge.
When RB Leipzig brought their former top scorer back to the club in 2022 for around 25 million euros, there were broad smiles in the club management. Werner was sold to Chelsea for 50 million euros in 2020, now the forward should return on the cheap to the scoring form he had shown in the Bundesliga before moving to the Premier League.
16 goals in 40 games in the first season was promising, but RB Leipzig no longer have room for Timo Werner this season. The 27-year-old has had some minor injuries, but 386 minutes so far in the season and two goals suggest that something is amiss.
This does not hinder Tottenham. Werner has been linked to Manchester United for several months, but according to German Sky Sports, Spurs and Werner are close to signing a lease. The negotiations are in the final phase this weekend, now a few details are missing such as a potential purchase option.
If there is one player we never thought we would see back in the world’s toughest league, it was Werner. Now we really get to test the flair of Ange Postecoglou. Will be exciting to follow.
