This week, the former Chelsea forward embarked on a loan to Spurs, committing to stay until the year’s end. During his two seasons at Stamford Bridge, the 27-year-old Werner scored 29 goals in 83 games for the Blues.
Werner, known for his undeniable skill, often faced criticism for his finishing in front of the goal. With Son Heung-Min participating in the Asia Cup, Ange Postecoglou swiftly secured the signing of the German, with the option to buy him for £15m at the season’s end.
Berbatov, a Betfair Ambassador, expressed his thoughts on the unexpected signing, noting that the deal had been in the works well before the transfer season opened. He emphasized that Werner’s return to England could lead to either a notable improvement or a lackluster outcome.
Berbatov acknowledged Werner’s potential, stating that if he can enhance his finishing, it would make him a valuable addition to the team. He highlighted the improved performance of Spurs under Postecoglou, with the team ranking among the top goal-scorers in the Premier League.
Berbatov also praised Werner’s ability to exploit spaces behind defenders, seeing it as a significant asset. He emphasized the importance of being quick, astute, and knowing when to exploit gaps. With teammates capable of providing passes, Berbatov sees Werner as a promising signing for the team, hoping for a seamless integration into the squad.
