He’s a nuisance: Roy Keane admits he wouldn’t enjoy facing 28yr old Tottenham player
Roy Keane has expressed reluctance about facing a particular Tottenham Hotspur player, acknowledging that he poses a significant challenge on the pitch.
Tottenham secured a crucial victory against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with goals from Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro propelling them into the Premier League’s top four.
While the win wasn’t flawless, Tottenham managed to capitalize on their opportunities, despite facing some moments of adversity, such as Chris Wood’s missed chance for Forest in the first half.
Once again, Timo Werner played a vital role in Tottenham’s success, contributing with an assist as his cross led to Murillo’s own goal.
Since joining on loan in January, Werner has proven to be a valuable addition to the squad, tallying four assists in his time at the club, placing him among the top contributors for Spurs this season.
Roy Keane, speaking on Sky Sports, acknowledged Werner’s impact on the game, describing him as a troublesome opponent who may have shortcomings in certain aspects of his game but remains a significant threat on the pitch, especially when deployed in wide positions.
While there may be debates about Werner’s best role and areas for improvement, his effectiveness in influencing games cannot be denied, making him a valuable asset for Tottenham.
Considering Werner’s contributions since arriving at the club, it appears to be a straightforward decision for Tottenham to exercise the option to sign him permanently in the summer.
Despite not always stealing the spotlight, Werner has quickly adapted to Ange Postecoglou’s system and has been directly involved in six league goals, showcasing his threat on the wing.
Given Werner’s impact and the potential for further development within the squad, the decision to secure his services permanently seems like a logical choice for Tottenham’s decision-makers.
