Fussball Transfers have suggested that Timo Werner is now making a case for a recall to the German national team in light of his impressive displays for Tottenham.
Werner will be happy with how things are going for him at Spurs, with the forward getting regular game time within Ange Postecoglou’s first-team squad since his loan move from RB Leipzig in January.
Timo Werner scored his first Tottenham goal against Crystal Palace
The 27-year-old netted his first goal for the North London side in their 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, getting on the end of a Brennan Johnson cross to convert a straightforward chance.
The former Chelsea man would have certainly been relieved to get on the scoresheet, having missed a gilt-edged chance earlier in the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Potential international call-up for Werner with Germany?
Fussball Transfers gives a positive appraisal of Werner’s recent performances, stating that his ‘form curve is pointing upwards’ since his return to the Premier League.
They say that the forward is now showcasing his attributes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in stark contrast to the ‘miserable life’ he was living on the Leipzig bench.
The report points out that Werner took a ‘risk’ in making the move to N17 but that is now paying off as he now has a ‘legitimate’ hope of returning to the national team before the Euros.
They suggest that the Tottenham man could be in line for a first call-up since March of last year, adding that Julian Nagelsmann is ‘capable of getting the best’ out of the player, having previously done so at the Red Bull Arena.

One of Werner’s main motivations for making the switch to Tottenham was to potentially impress Nagelsmann and get back into the German squad.
Nagelsmann’s system is quite similar to Postecoglou’s and there is no doubt that the 27-year-old can be an asset to Die Mannschaft even if he is not a guaranteed starter.
