News about Timo Werner

CRAIG HOPE: It irritated those here in Dortmund and even beyond when Jadon Sancho flopped at Manchester United. Born in London, perhaps, but they see him as a Bundesliga export. When goals and assists that have flowed so easily in Germany suddenly dry up in the Premier League - see Timo Werner, also - it gives reason for the 'Farmer's League' doubters to plough their contempt. The Bundesliga, for the record, have two teams in the last five of the Champions League, while England have none. Sancho's recovery, then, is about him, not the country in which he feels so at home. And that is why he is here, back at Borussia Dortmund, the club who turned him into that £73million export in the first place.

MATT BARLOW: Tottenham pair Timo Werner (left) and Ben Davies (right) will miss the rest of the season after suffering injuries in a blow to Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou (inset). Werner's loan from Leipzig will expire at the end of the season. There is an option to make the deal permanent but there has been no indication from boss Ange Postecoglou as to whether that will be taken.

KIERAN GILL: Time spent getting to know the thunderbolt of Tottenham revealed a rise equally as rapid, though Micky van de Ven's sprint to stardom was not without the odd stumble, a particularly painful one arriving at 16 years old when told he lacked the speed to succeed. It is a ludicrous tale - how a club in the Dutch second division came so close to discarding the defender now testing the shutter speeds of photographers' cameras at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Today, he holds the Premier League record as its fastest-ever player, previously clocked at 23.23mph. Back then, he supposedly smuggled lead in his socks, a story which Van de Ven's father, Marcel, related to Mail Sport this week. 'When the Volendam trainer said, "You're not fast enough and not good enough", I understood that a kid who's 16 might think, "That's it. I'm done. I have to go",' Marcel said, speaking from his native Netherlands. 'But I told him, "This is the best message they are ever going to give you. You know you can play, so play. If you think they are going to send you away, just play. And if they send you away, I will bring you to the club where you can play with your friends. But for now, go on. Do what you like. Do what you love. Do what you want. Live your dream".

GIRAN GILL: In a sprint down the touchline in honor of Jose Mourinho, Ange Postecoglou will never copy Jose Mourinho, claiming that such emotional eruptions are a waste of precious seconds when he has to be worrying tactically about what will happen next. Tottenham boss Kevin Harton was calm during the chaos when Heung-min Son scored in the 86th minute to lift Luton 2-1 on Saturday, with each of their last four victories coming from behind.

Spurs had been hammered away in the second half, having fallen behind early in the game and then equalizing shortly after halftime. Timo Werner was released by his son and continued running. Werner made a change of pace and crossed the ball low from the left. Brennan Johnson poked it back, and the Spurs captain arrived to find the net with the help of a deflection.

JOE BERNSTEIN FROM CRAVEN COTTAGE: Fulham took a big stride toward the top half of the Premier League table after beating Tottenham 3-0 on Saturday in a sensational Champions League match. Spurs had won their last seven league games at Craven Cottage, but Ange Postecoglou must be worried that just a week after thrashing European rivals Aston Villa 4-0, his players were so sluggish.

Timo Werner's miss from two yards out during Tottenham's away loss to Fulham on Saturday evening came under fire from online pundits. When Werner came off the bench in the 66th minute, two goals from Rodrigo Muniz and one from Sasa Lukic had given the Cottagers a 3-0 lead. Fans were asked how the German forward, who was on loan from RB Leipzig, had missed such a good chance right in front of the goal net three minutes later.

MATT BARLOW AT VILLA PARK: Unai Emery is not the first to suffer a hangover from Amsterdam, but the Aston Villa manager could suffer another one. He tweaked team structure and watched them self-destruct within a quarter of an hour, and Tottenham silenced Villa Park's trembling. Victory would have pushed Emery's side eight points clear of the visitors, tightening their grip on a spot in the top four, but hopes of suffering 15 minutes of pain at the start of the second half.

TOM COLLOMOSE: On Sunday afternoon, Ange Postecoglou's team stunned a 10-man Aston Villa side, with all of James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Son Heung-min, and Timo Werner scoring to seal a huge 4-0 win. Spurs have made ground on Unai Emery's side in the Premier League, with Villa now just two points behind Tottenham in fourth place as the fight to qualify for the Champions League heats up.

To have missed the main talking point of the weekend, you'd have to be living under a rock: Arsenal defeated Arsenal again. A 6-0 demolition of Sheffield United did the trick, and three Gunners have been in our power rankings. Manchester City came from behind to defy a Marcus Rashford beauty and defeat Manchester United 3-1 at the Etihad, in no small thanks to Phil Foden's brilliance. Liverpool stayed top after a 99th-minute Darwin Nunez winner, Aston Villa, were jubilant after a late show involving Lucas Digne, and Timo Werner helped Spurs remain in the top four chase. Bukayo Saka was rewarded first place in Mail Sport's power rankings last week, one of football's most coveted awards. Does he keep his spot, or does somebody else sneak in?

MATT BARLOW OF THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Timo Werner first arrived in English football as a goal machine in the Bundesliga during a 30-plus season, but those days have long passed. Perceptions changed over the two years he spent at Chelsea, where he was never close to the soaring strike rate of his first stint at RB Leipzig, where he was never quite at par with the blistering strike rate. Rather, he built a reputation for missing opportunities and being offside, and few people were dissatisfied with his return to him when he appeared. Werner, 27, has abandoned Werner, 27 years old, but his campaign hasn't stalled. With the goalkeeper's goalless goal in a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace, there was a genuine sense of love and a sigh of relief, as he scored for the first time in a Tottenham shirt.

MATT BARLOW AT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: This year, Tottenham Hotspur's MATT BARLOW continued what has become a familiar pattern to home games. They staggered through the first half, fell behind, and summoned a response. Last time out, it was not enough to prevent defeat, but Crystal Palace swung away with a blaze of three goals in 11 minutes after Eberechi Eze had struck first with a spectacular free kick. Brennan Johnson came off the bench and sparked Spurs to life by generating goals for Timo Werner and Heung-min Son, either side of a header created by Christian Romero. Ange Postecoglou's team is in the top of the Premier League ahead of a crucial ride to Aston Villa next.

Heung-min Son will return to training at Tottenham on Thursday, with the intention of being back in contention against Brighton on Saturday. Son has missed five games while on international service with South Korea at the Asian Cup in Qatar. Spurs have scored five Premier League points from three games and then dropped out of the FA Cup, losing to Manchester City in the absence of their captain.

Isabelle da Silva is a unique and increasingly prominent member of the footballing spouses of her husband, who was once ardent supporter and outspoken critic of the teams her husband plays for. No punches are pulled when she has a solid opinion. Chelsea's humiliating 4-2 loss at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, her new tweeting made history after Chelsea's humiliating 4-2 loss. After Mauricio Pochettino's Blues were left black and blue by a theoretically smaller side, with some even chanting former manager Jose Mourinho's name, she has the ability to convey fanfare. And this is just the latest in a long line of outbursts. Timo Werner has expressed dissatisfaction with her wrath, Chelsea fans have not escaped her critique, and Unai Emery and Graham Potter have been questioned.

For many gaping squad holes, the January transfer window has long provided teams with the opportunity to fill the gaps. If it's an injury to a star striker or a key defender, most teams save their more valuable revenue for the summer and fall into January for something more. Tottenham Hotspur has been really busy this season, with Timo Werner on loan and Radu Dragusin for £26 million. Fulham swooped in late last night to land a loan for Chelsea striker Armando Broja. But, with many clubs also securing some critical loan deals - which team won the January transfer window?

Tottenham defeated Brentford 3-2 on Wednesday evening after being in a tie for a goal down against the Bees. Spurs got off to a promising start, but a few Brentford counter-attacks got them out, and then Neal Maupay poked home after Vicario had parried the ball to his feet. Spurs had a sloppy first half but got off to a rocky start in the second as Destiny Udogie received a Timo Werner pass inside the box before thumping home the equalizer. Werner squared a ball to the far post for backup Brennan Johnson to tap home two minutes later, turning the game upside down. Richarlison made it three.

If you think Tottenham's decision to give the former Chelsea forward a second crack in England's top flight is a good idea, then you may have watched him help Rodrigo Bentancur for Spurs' second equalizer with a certain smugness. In comparison, the doubters were wearing the 'I told you so' smirk as Werner squandered three first-half chances with the same erratic poise that characterized his time at Chelsea.
