Recent Performance and Tottenham's Strategic Move

Werner's recent form at RB Leipzig has been moderate, with the forward finding the back of the net only twice this season. Tottenham's interest in Werner comes as the club looks to strengthen its attack, especially during Son Heung-Min's absence due to his participation in the Asian Cup.

Werner's potential arrival is viewed as a key move to enhance Tottenham's offensive capabilities, especially in the absence of injured players.

Werner's versatility is seen as a positive, but his adaptation to Tottenham's playing style remains a point of discussion as manager Ange Postecoglou may need to adjust the team's strategy to integrate Werner effectively.
