Timo Werner flopped at Chelsea but he is making a mark at Spurs
Fans were sceptical when Werner arrived on loan in January but he has been involved in four goals in just seven games

“There is more to come from him for sure,” said Ange Postecoglou when asked about Timo Werner before Tottenham visited Villa Park on Sunday. He was right. Werner scored his first league goal for Spurs in their 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace last weekend, hitting the all-important equaliser as Spurs came from behind to win, and he added another in the 4-0 win against Villa on Sunday.
Werner came off the bench against Villa and fired past Emiliano Martínez as Spurs took a huge stride towards finishing in the top four. Factor in his assists in matches against Manchester United and Brentford in January, and the German has been directly involved in four goals in seven outings for Spurs. For a player who struggled for consistency during his time with Chelsea, he looks far more confident in a settled system where expectations are nowhere near as high as they were at Stamford Bridge.
