Dimitar Berbatov has shared his thoughts on Tottenham Hotspur’s acquisition of Timo Werner after the striker was previously linked with Manchester United.
Werner, who has joined Spurs on loan from RB Leipzig with an option to sign him permanently for £15m, struggled to make an impact at Chelsea before returning to Leipzig. Despite a slow start to the season, he is set to make his debut for Tottenham against Manchester United this weekend.
While Werner was reportedly a target for Manchester United, the club opted not to pursue him as they are still determining their desired type of striker.
Berbatov believes that Werner could be a valuable addition to the team, especially if he has improved his finishing abilities. The former footballer expressed surprise at the signing, but highlighted Werner’s pace as a significant asset for Spurs, emphasizing the importance of combining speed with intelligence on the pitch.
He also praised the timing of the transfer, hoping that Werner will make an immediate impact for Tottenham with his speed and goal-scoring potential.
