Timo Werner's performance at Tottenham has made manager Ange Postecoglou very happy. Werner, who is on loan from RB Leipzig, has made a positive impact at the club. He has played in nine games, scoring two goals and assisting two more.
Tottenham has the option to buy Werner for just €17 million this summer as part of the loan deal. It seems like a great deal considering his performance. So why haven't Spurs activated the buy option yet, especially when Postecoglou is satisfied with his performance?
According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham is still deciding on their strategy for the summer transfer window. They want to observe Werner a bit more since he has only played nine games so far. Romano explains that some clubs make their decisions about strategies in late April or early May, not in March.
Spurs want to see how Werner performs in the remaining important matches of the season before making a decision. It is normal for them to take their time in evaluating the player's future. Werner himself is happy at Tottenham and is open to staying beyond this season. So, Spurs will carefully consider his future along with other factors before making a final decision.
