After an impressive display against Rangers, it looks like Timo Werner’s days at Tottenham are numbered and Ange Postecoglou has ruled out a permanent move for the Germany international.
THE Fury of the Spurs coach after the Europa League match it was clear to all and there was never going to be a way back after Werner was so publicly humiliated.

Give Me Sports report that despite Postecoglou previously being one of the forward’s biggest supporters at the club, his poor performance in Scotland has reversed his admiration.
It’s clear that the Lilywhites are in a race to pick up points at the moment, and with a significant injury list to contend with, that’s becoming increasingly difficult for the North Londoners.
With another striker ready to leave the club of his own volition, he could put Spurs in an incredibly tight spot in January.

Since their 4-1 win over Aston Villa in early November, Tottenham have only beaten Manchester City in their next eight games in all competitions.
With all due respect, their next game at Southampton could provide some respite, however, they follow that up with a Carabao Cup tie against Man United, and league games against leaders Liverpool as well as Nottingham Forest.
While it’s too early to condemn the manager, clearly if results don’t improve, Postecoglou may well find his head on the chopping block.
Perhaps the only saving grace for the Aussie is that there is still well over half a season left to play in 24/25, and they are just five points off the European places at the moment.
If the team can put together any kind of fight to restore confidence, there’s no reason why Spurs won’t challenge for the Champions League again.
