Spurned possibilities at Chelsea extinguished Werner’s potential
Sky Sports activities’ Adam Smith:
Timo Werner arrived within the Premier League three-and-a-half years in the past with nice expectations. His taking part in type was likened to Mohamed Salah and the ahead instantly displayed his direct qualities however struggled to transform possibilities in entrance of objective.
The radar under compares Werner’s per-90 statistics throughout his time at Chelsea along with his earlier three league campaigns in Germany and divulges the one metric that notably modified was his strike price.
By way of tangible numbers, Werner scored 10 objectives in two Premier League seasons at Chelsea – however ought to have scored almost twice that determine, based on anticipated objectives (xG).
The shot map under plots all of his 124 pictures for Chelsea within the Premier League, with factors colored in progressive purple shades indicating simpler possibilities to transform – revealing a raft of spurned possibilities in entrance of objective.
He was deployed in quite a few positions throughout the firing line in an try to floor his underlying expertise, however he did not ship whereas competing towards a bunch of attacking choices vying for beginning berths.
Tottenham will hope Werner’s second try at cracking Premier League soccer might be a profitable one. He will definitely really feel he has unfinished enterprise in England.
‘A Werner with a degree to show might be harmful’
Sky Sports activities Information reporter Dharmesh Sheth on Switch Discuss:
The extra I have a look at the deal for Werner, the extra I feel it makes quite a lot of sense for Tottenham.
Primary, it appears actually low threat. It is a mortgage with an possibility so there isn’t any obligation to purchase Werner and the top of the mortgage deal. Secondly, it’s a £15m possibility to purchase so on the monetary facet it makes quite a lot of sense.
I do know Werner had quite a lot of criticism for his spell at Chelsea however the mentality of the participant again then will come into play as properly. Perhaps he now feels he is obtained unfinished enterprise within the Premier League and perhaps he feels he must show a number of folks flawed.
That is a very good angle to return into a brand new membership with and if Tottenham can faucet into that then this spell within the Premier League might be much more profitable for Werner.

‘Threat within the deal all on Werner’
Night Normal chief soccer correspondent Dan Kilpatrick on Switch Discuss:
The chance on this deal is all on Werner. If he flops at Spurs and if this mortgage deal would not work, he is most likely not going to get one other huge transfer.
Alternatively, there isn’t any actual threat for Spurs.
One of the best-case state of affairs is he will get again to someplace close to his greatest type and Spurs can signal him for a 3rd of what Chelsea paid for him 4 years in the past.
The worst-case state of affairs for them is that he would not do a lot. He is most likely nonetheless an improve on Bryan Gil and so they simply ship him again to RB Leipzig in the summertime.
There is not an enormous quantity of threat right here and it strikes me as a canny piece of enterprise with restively little draw back.
