Although his season being cut short due to a hamstring injury, Werner produced two goals and three assists in the second half of the season.
His right away effect was felt in high-stakes games, such as the exciting 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford, where he assisted Rodrigo Bentancur’s goal.
Tottenham’s decision to bring back Werner shows the club’s belief in his ability and the potential he offers to their offensive squad.
Postecoglou has been clear about his admiration for Werner’s work rate and tactical intelligence.
“Timo understands our system and knows how to exploit defenses with his speed and vision,” Postecoglou remarked.
“He may not be the most clinical finisher, but his ability to create opportunities is invaluable.”
The return of Werner is a tactical choice as Spurs prepare for a challenging season, with the goal set on contending in the Europa League.
Werner’s speed and ability to stretch defenses are seen as valuable tools in Tottenham’s quest for trophies.
Fans will be curious to see if Werner will replicate or even outperform his prior performances now that he is more familiar with the team’s dynamics and expectations.
Werner’s return is not without controversy. Some Tottenham fans have voiced skepticism, recalling his inconsistent spell at Chelsea.
However, Werner’s performances at Spurs have showed glimpses of the player who once shone in the Bundesliga, and there is hope that with an entire pre-season and consistent playing time, he can reclaim his greatest form.
Werner’s rapport with Postecoglou, as well as his ease in North London, played an important role in his returning home.
According to sources close to the player, Postecoglou’s management has made him feel more at ease and confident, which might indicate good for his performance levels.
“Timo is happy here and believes in the project we are building,” said a source from within the club.
“That positivity could make all the difference.”
As Spurs look to bolster their squad further, Werner’s signing marks an important step in their summer transfer plans.
With more signings expected, the return of Timo Werner could very well be the catalyst for an exciting and competitive 2024/25 campaign for the Lilywhites.
